Ingredients
1 cup Heavy cream
¼ cup Granulated sugar
3 cups Strong hot brewed coffee
4 ounces Irish whiskey
Directions
Pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form, adding 2 tablespoons of the sugar gradually as you whip. Set the whipped cream aside.
Divide the Irish whiskey evenly among four Irish coffee glasses or heatproof glasses (about 1 ounce per glass).
Add 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining sugar to each glass with the whiskey.
Pour 3/4 cup of the hot brewed coffee into each glass, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar.
Top each glass generously with the whipped cream, pouring it gently over the back of a spoon so it floats on the surface. Serve immediately while the coffee is still hot.
