Ask any Canadian what a double double is and you'll get a description of a sweet, creamy coffee that Canucks "always have time for." Although the double double—coffee with two creams and two sugars—isn't technically on the Tim Hortons menu, it's become synonymous with the brand. We couldn't resist making a nighttime counterpart to the popular coffee order. We initially envisioned an equal-parts drink—two shots whisky and two shots Kahlúa—but we realized it's just not a double double without all that creamy goodness, so we incorporated whisky cream liqueur.
