Coffee Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew a cup of your favorite coffee using a coffee maker, French press, or any preferred method until you have about 1 cup of hot coffee.

  2. 2

    In a separate mug or heatproof glass, combine the freshly brewed coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Cream Topping

  1. 3

    In a small bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but still pours easily. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer for this step.

  2. 4

    Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture to create a floating layer on top.

  3. 5

    Optional Garnish

    If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder on top of the cream for extra flavor and presentation.
