1
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Use fresh coffee grounds and hot water to ensure a rich flavor. Brew about 6 ounces.
2
Warm the Glass
To keep your Irish Coffee warm, preheat a heatproof glass or mug by filling it with hot water. Let it sit for a minute and then empty the water.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In the warmed glass, combine 1 ounce of Jameson Irish Whiskey with 6 ounces of the hot brewed coffee. Stir gently to mix.
4
Add Sugar
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the mixture and stir until it is completely dissolved.
5
Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a separate bowl, whip 2 ounces of heavy whipping cream until it thickens but is not fully whipped; it should be pourable.
6
Top the Coffee
Slowly pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee mixture to create a layer on top. This will allow for a layered effect.
7
Serve
Serve immediately while hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a coffee bean.
