1
Brew a fresh cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Make sure it's hot and strong for the best flavor.
2
While the coffee is brewing, prepare your glass. A heatproof glass or an Irish coffee mug works best.

3
In your prepared glass, pour in the freshly brewed coffee, leaving some space at the top for the cream.
4
Add the Irish whiskey and stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved.

5
In a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
6
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.

7
Gently float the whipped cream on top of the coffee mixture by spooning it over the back of a spoon.
8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Irish Coffee while it's hot!
