Ingredients
1¾ ounces Irish whiskey
4 ounces Fresh-brewed hot coffee
¾ ounces Simple syrup
to taste Heavy cream, chilled
Directions
Pour the Irish whiskey into a heat-safe glass or mug, followed by the simple syrup. Stir to combine.
Slowly pour the hot fresh-brewed coffee into the glass, stirring gently to blend with the whiskey and syrup.
Hold a spoon horizontally just above the surface of the hot coffee mixture. Slowly pour the chilled heavy cream over the back of the spoon so it gently floats on top of the coffee.
Serve immediately and enjoy, sipping the hot coffee mixture through the cool cream.
