Irish Raktajino
The infamous Klingon coffee from “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” is the base for this Irish Coffee riff. It's something one might imagine Miles O'Brien and Worf concocting once the blood wine runs out. The smoked paprika provides an earthy, spicy hit. Smells like Kronos! This recipe originally appeared as part of “5 ‘Star Trek' Cocktails to Try at Home.”
