Preparation
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method. Aim for a robust flavor that will complement the whiskey.
Add Whiskey and Sugar
In a heat-proof glass or mug, pour in 1 ounce of Irish whiskey. Add 1 tablespoon of raw sugar and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Topping
Prepare the Cream
In a separate bowl, lightly whip 1 tablespoon of heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
Top the Coffee
Gently pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to create a floating layer of cream on top. Do not stir.
