Method
Prepare Coffee
- 1
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method. Aim for a robust flavor to complement the whiskey.
- 2
Mix in Whiskey and Sugar
In a heat-resistant glass or Irish coffee mug, combine 1 cup of hot brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon of Irish whiskey, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Prepare Cream Topping
- 3
Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want the cream to remain pourable.

Top the Coffee
Carefully spoon the whipped cream over the coffee mixture. Aim to float the cream on top rather than mixing it in.
Serve

Final Touch
Optionally, you can sprinkle a little cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately while hot.
