Jump on board the trendy coffee train with this drunken dalgona recipe. The whipped and frothy coffee confection has become a favorite drink at coffee shops, and we take it to the next level with tasty, flavored whiskey and vodka.
Drunken Dalgona Ingredients
You’ll need:
For The Coffee:
- 8 ounces of cold milk
- 1½ ounces of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
- ½ ounce of vanilla vodka
For The Whipped Topping:
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of very hot water
- 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules
PRO TIP:
I find that for single serving drinks like this, the small 50 milliliter shooters that you can find at your local liquor store are perfect (a touch over the 1½ ounces in each) to use when you want to try new brands and flavors of liquors without committing to the larger bottles.
Substitutions And Additions
MILK: I used whole milk for this recipe but feel free to use whatever dairy, or non-dairy milk such as oat milk or almond milk, of your choosing.
I think that the full-fat versions work best no matter what “milk” option you choose.
SUGAR: White sugar is what I used for this beaten coffee recipe to get the best results.
However, you can substitute raw cane sugar. Note that the raw sugar does not whip up quite as full as the granulated sugar does.
This substitution still makes a great drunken dalgona though.
COFFEE: We used regular instant coffee (with the larger granules) for this recipe.
You can substitute instant espresso but be warned that you will have a very strong coffee if you use the espresso instead of the traditional regular instant coffee.
WHISKEY: Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey is the brand that I used here, but if you can not find that brand in your area, you can use any brand flavored peanut butter whiskey.
Alternatively, you can use a good unflavored whiskey (I like to use Jameson Irish whiskey for my coffee cocktails) in lieu of the Skrewball brand and a peanut butter flavored schnapps in lieu of the vanilla vodka.
ICE CUBES: If you want your drink even colder, add a few ice cubes to your glass.
How To Make This Drunken Dalgona Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Make sure that you are preparing your drunken dalgona coffee recipe in a large enough mug, or cocktail glass, because the whipped topping does get pretty fluffy and you want to make sure you have enough space in your mug for all the whipped topping goodness.
STEP ONE: In a large, 12-ounce size, coffee mug, pour milk, Skrewball whiskey and vanilla vodka. Set aside.
PRO TIP:
This drink is made as a cold coffee cocktail but feel free to heat up your cup of milk, follow the rest of the directions, and enjoy it as a hot coffee cocktail.
STEP TWO: In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds, whip the hot water, instant coffee granules and the granulated sugar then increase the speed to high for an additional 4 ½ to 5 minutes or until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
STEP THREE: Gently spoon your whipped coffee mixture onto the top of the milk.
PRO TIP:
To achieve the same look that we got in the photos, use a piping bag to add the whipped topping to your coffee.
You can sip this drunken dalgona coffee cocktail as it is or stir it up and enjoy. It is best served immediately as the whipped dalgona foam topping will slowly deflate as it sits.
How To Serve

Storage
IN THE FRIDGE: If you make coffee ahead of time and want to keep it in the fridge until you are ready to whip this drink up, that would work fine.
Otherwise, this drink should be made to order.
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this drink. It is best made fresh.
This drunken dalgona whipped coffee is made with simple ingredients and creates a fluffy coffee treat. It takes the original recipe and adds a fun grown-up spin to the drink that you will certainly enjoy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a milk frother or electric whisk to whip up this coffee?
The creamy coffee topping is best made with an electric mixer as it makes it even more light and fluffy. A frother wouldn’t be able to whip quite as much air into the cream as you want for this recipe.
Why is the topping not fluffy?
In order to get your topping to be fluffy and not collapse, you need to make sure you add enough sugar when making the whipped topping. You also have to make sure that you whip it long enough that stiff peaks form.
Where did dalgona coffee originate?
This popular coffee drink originated in South Korea and gets its name from a street toffee that tastes much like the fluffy coffee concoction of the same name.
