Ingredients

30 milliliters hot brewed coffee

2 teaspoons sugar

1 shot Irish whiskey

1 teaspoon heavy cream

Directions

  1. Brew fresh, strong coffee and pour approximately 30 milliliters into a warmed glass or Irish coffee cup.

  2. Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved in the hot coffee.

  3. Add the Irish whiskey and stir well to combine.

  4. Pour the cream slowly over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the coffee to create a distinct layer on top. The cream should float on the coffee without fully mixing.

  5. Serve immediately while the coffee is still hot, with the cream layer remaining on top for visual appeal and a luxurious taste.
