Coffee Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Brew 1 cup of your favorite coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Make sure it's hot and fresh.

  2. 2

    Mix the Coffee

    In a heat-resistant glass or coffee mug, pour in the hot brewed coffee.

  3. 3

    Add Whiskey and Sugar

    Add 1 oz of Irish whiskey and 1 tsp of brown sugar to the coffee. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Topping

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cream

    In a separate bowl, lightly whip 1 oz of heavy whipping cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.

  2. 5

    Top the Coffee

    Slowly pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture to create a layered effect.

  3. 6

    Optional Garnish

    If desired, sprinkle 0.5 tsp of cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream for an extra touch of flavor.
