Coffee Base

Cream Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing a fresh cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Aim for a strong brew to complement the whiskey.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a warm coffee mug, combine the Irish whiskey and turbinado sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Coffee

    Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the mug with the whiskey and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Cream Topping

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cream

    In a small bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream until it reaches a soft peak. Be careful not to over-whip; it should still be pourable.

  2. 5

    Top the Coffee

    Gently spoon the whipped cream over the coffee mixture, allowing it to float on top. Do not stir, as the cream should remain on the surface.
