Show Notes for Episode 16 - The Ijiraq

Join us on a journey to the Arctic tundra to explore the shapeshifting, red-eyed, half-man / half-caribou Inuit creature known as the Ijiraq. Lost in the snow? Could be the Ijiraq misleading you. Disappeared for a while and don't know where you've been? The Ijiraq probably abducted you. Come listen and find out more!

The Booze:

½ cup whipping cream 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp maple syrup 2 oz Canadian whisky (we used Crown Royal) 1 dash Angostura aromatic bitters, optional 4 - 6 oz hot strong coffee, preferably good-quality 1. Using a whisk, electric mixer or stand mixer, whisk whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Whisk in 2 Tbsp maple syrup. Set aside. If making ahead, whipped cream will keep well, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. 2. Add whisky, 1 tsp maple syrup, and bitters to a heat-proofed mug. Pour in coffee. Top with a dollop of the maple whipped cream.
