Method

Prepare Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew Coffee

    Begin by brewing a fresh cup of coffee using your preferred method. Aim for a robust flavor that will complement the whiskey.

Mix Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Coffee and Whiskey

    In a heatproof glass or mug, combine the freshly brewed coffee with the Jameson's Irish whiskey.

  2. 3

    Add Sugar

    Stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Adjust the sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Prepare Whipped Cream

  1. 4

    Whip Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn to butter.

Serve

  1. 5

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Gently spoon the whipped cream over the coffee mixture, allowing it to float on top. Avoid stirring the cream into the coffee for the classic Irish coffee presentation.

  2. 6
