Ingredients
3 cups Heavy whipping cream
7 tablespoons Granulated sugar
1 cup Irish whiskey
6 cups Rich, hot brewed coffee
Directions
Brew strong, hot coffee and keep it hot. Pour the hot coffee into a large pot or heat-safe pitcher.
Stir the granulated sugar into the hot coffee until completely dissolved.
Add the Irish whiskey to the sweetened coffee and stir to combine.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to over-whip into butter.
Pour the hot coffee and whiskey mixture into serving glasses or mugs, filling them about three-quarters full.
Gently spoon or pour the whipped cream onto the top of each drink, allowing it to rest on the hot surface without fully mixing in.
Serve immediately while the coffee is still hot, allowing drinkers to enjoy the contrast between the hot coffee and cool cream.
