Irish Coffee
A classic Irish Coffee layers hot coffee and Irish whiskey under cool, lightly whipped cream ~ simple, warming, and ready in 5 minutes.
Servings: 2
Equipment
- 2 heat resistant glass mugs (buying options)
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh brewed hot coffee
- 6 Tbsp Irish whiskey, there are 3 tablespoons in a standard shot of whiskey, which is 1.5 fluid ounces.
- 2 tsp brown sugar, or to taste
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream, lightly whipped until thickened but still pourable
garnish
- chocolate shavings, optional
Instructions
- Warm two heatproof glasses with hot water and empty them.
- Divide coffee, whiskey, and brown sugar between the glasses and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Lightly whip the cold cream until thickened but still pourable. Slowly pour it over the back of a spoon held just above each coffee so it floats. Grate a little chocolate over the cream, if desired.
- Serve immediately and drink through the cream.
