Beverage Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing 1 cup of freshly brewed local coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Ensure the coffee is hot and strong.

  2. 2

    Mix in Whiskey and Sugar

    In a heatproof glass or mug, pour the brewed coffee. Add 1 oz of Irish whiskey and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Whipped Cream Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Final Assembly

    Assemble the Irish Coffee

    Spoon the whipped cream over the prepared coffee mixture, allowing it to float on top. Avoid stirring to maintain the layered effect.
