Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Brown Sugar Simple Syrup

  2. 2

    Brew the Coffee

    Brew fresh coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Make sure it is strong and hot.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a heat-resistant glass or mug, add 1 cup of brewed coffee, 1 cup of Jameson Irish Whiskey, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar simple syrup. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Prepare Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

  3. 5

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Spoon the whipped cream over the coffee mixture, allowing it to float atop the drink.

  4. 6

    Add Nutmeg

    Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg on top of the whipped cream as a flavorful garnish.
