Ingredients
2 oz. Irish whiskey
5 oz. hot strong brewed coffee
2 tsp. sugar
Heavy cream, lightly whipped
Directions
Brew 5 oz. of strong hot coffee and pour it into an Irish coffee glass or heat-safe mug.
Stir the sugar into the hot coffee until fully dissolved.
Add the Irish whiskey to the sweetened coffee and stir gently to combine.
Lightly whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, creating a cloud-like texture that is still pourable.
Pour the lightly whipped cream slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the coffee so it floats on top rather than sinking.
Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of hot coffee and cool cream.
