Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a fresh cup of hot coffee using your preferred method. Make sure it is strong and hot.

  2. 2

    Add Irish Whiskey

    In a heat-resistant glass or mug, pour in 1 oz of Irish whiskey.

  3. 3

    Sweeten Your Coffee

    Add 1 tsp of sugar to the whiskey in the glass. Stir gently until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Combine Coffee and Whiskey Mixture

    Carefully pour 4 oz of the hot brewed coffee into the glass with the whiskey and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip 2 oz of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This can be done by hand or using an electric mixer.

  6. 6

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Spoon the whipped cream over the coffee mixture gently so it floats on top. Avoid stirring it into the coffee.

  7. 7

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, garnish the drink with 3 whole coffee beans on top of the whipped cream.
