Ingredients
3 ounces heavy cream
1/4 ounce simple syrup
5 ounces freshly brewed coffee
1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Directions
Brew 5 ounces of fresh coffee and set aside in a warm location.
Pour the 3 ounces of heavy cream and 1/4 ounce of simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Remove the spring from the cocktail strainer and add it to the shaker to serve as a whisk.
Shake vigorously for about one minute, moving the shaker up and down to whip the cream until it reaches a soft, fluffy consistency with light peaks.
Pour the warm coffee into a serving glass, then add the 1 1/2 ounces of Irish whiskey and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. Stir to combine.
Gently top the coffee mixture with a few dollops of the whipped cream, allowing it to float on the surface.
Serve immediately while hot, sipping the coffee through the cool layer of whipped cream.
