1
Prepare the Glass
Warm a heat-resistant glass or Irish coffee mug by filling it with hot water for a few minutes. Discard the water once the glass is warm.
2
Combine Whiskey and Sugar
Add the Irish whiskey and demerara sugar to the warm glass. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3
Add Coffee
Pour in the freshly brewed coffee, leaving some space at the top for the cream. Stir gently to combine.
4
Top with Cream
Carefully pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the coffee mixture. This creates a layered effect.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with coffee beans if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Irish Coffee!
