Coffee Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method, such as a French press or drip coffee maker.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey and Sugar

    In a heat-resistant glass or mug, combine the freshly brewed coffee, Irish whiskey, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cream

    In a separate bowl, gently whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable. Avoid over-whipping.

Serving

  1. 4

    Layer the Cream

    Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture. This will create a layered effect.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top of the cream for garnish. Optionally, add extra whipped cream if desired.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Better Irish Coffee!
