Method

Preparing the Coffee Base

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, brew 1 cup of strong coffee. Use a dark roast for a rich flavor.

  2. 2

    Add Whiskey and Sugar

    While the coffee is still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey and 1 tablespoon of sugar until completely dissolved.

Assembling the Iced Irish Coffee

  1. 3

    Prepare a Glass

    Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the coffee.

  2. 4

    Pour the Coffee Over Ice

    Carefully pour the coffee mixture over the ice in the glass.

  3. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. This can be done with a hand whisk or an electric mixer.

  4. 6

    Top the Coffee

    Spoon the whipped cream over the iced coffee, creating a nice layer on top.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Dust the whipped cream with a teaspoon of cocoa powder for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
