Method

Cocktail

Preheat glass

Warm a heatproof Irish coffee glass (8–10 oz) or mug by filling it with hot water and letting it sit 30–60 seconds. Discard the water and dry the glass.

Combine liqueurs

Pour 1.5 oz Frangelico and 1.5 oz Bailey's Irish Cream into the warmed glass.

Add coffee

Carefully pour 4 oz freshly brewed hot coffee into the glass, leaving about 1/2–3/4 inch of head space for the whipped cream. Stir gently for 5–10 seconds to combine the liqueurs and coffee. Taste and, if desired, add up to 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup and stir until dissolved.

Top with whipped cream

Using a spoon, gently dollop 2 tablespoons of lightly sweetened whipped cream on top of the coffee so it floats. For a more polished presentation, pipe the whipped cream with a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.

Garnish and serve

Sprinkle 1 tsp chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder over the whipped cream. Optionally place 1–2 whole coffee beans on top. If desired, drizzle 1 tsp hazelnut or chocolate syrup around the rim or over the cream. Serve immediately with a long-handled spoon.

Optional Add-ins

If you like a sweeter or more pronounced hazelnut/chocolate flavor, add 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup when you add the coffee and stir until dissolved. For an accentuated rim, brush the glass rim with a little Frangelico or hazelnut syrup and dip in sugar or cocoa before assembling the drink.
