Ingredients

  • 4 ounces brewed coffee
  • 1 ounce Irish whiskey
  • 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped firm

Instructions

  • Preheat your Irish coffee mug by filling it with warm water, and letting is warm up the glass.  Pour out warm water before adding coffee. 
  • Pour 4 ounces of brewed coffee into a warmed mug.   Add 1 ounce of Irish whiskey, and add 2 teaspoons brown sugar.   Stir. 
  • Gently whip the heavy cream, (double cream) with a whisk.  It is important to keep the layers separated in the coffee.  This way the person will get the experience of tasting the hot coffee through the cool layer of cream.   Use a spoon, flipped over to the backside, and gently pour over the heavy cream.   
  • If desired you can whip the heavy cream until it is firm and dollop it onto the coffee.
