What is Dalgona Whiskey?

Also known as Dalgona Peg, it is nothing but water topped with whiskey.

A trick is used to pour the whiskey on top of water, so that instead of getting mixed with water it just floats on the top, Just like whipped coffee floats on the top of milk in Dalgona Coffee. 

How to make it?

To make it, fill ¾th of your glass with water.

Now, cover the mouth of glass with a muslin or soft cloth, such a way that the middle of the cloth touches water a bit. 

Pour in whiskey slowly from the top.

Once done, remove the cloth slowly and you will see that your whiskey will float on the top of the glass.

I prefer this method, as this gives better results!

Another way to make it is by using a spoon.

Fill the ¾ of your glass with water.

Put a spoon just where the water ends and slowly pour the whiskey on the spoon flowing in the glass.

This way also the whiskey will float on the top. 

Step By Step Recipe

Take an empty glass. Fill ¾th of the glass with water and add ice cubes in it. 

Cover the mouth of the glass with a clean cloth. Make sure to fold the cloth in 4 layers. Press the cloth down a bit from the middle so that it touches the water. 

Slowly, pour the whiskey in the indentations and let it slowly seep in the water. Stir it before drinking 🙂
