Irish Coffee

If you enjoy a late night coffee or want to relax after dinner, Irish Coffee may be just what you need. Sweet, rich, and just the right amount of kick.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 4 ounces of strong hot coffee
• 1 ½ ounces irish Whiskey
• 1 ounce heavy cream (lightly whipped – vigorously whip the cream with a whisk or fork until light and fluffy)

How to make it

Place the brown sugar into a warm coffee glass or mug. Add the coffee and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Next, add the whiskey and stir again. Finally, add the lightly whipped heavy cream – the preferred method is to float the cream by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Do not stir! Instead, drink the Irish Coffee through the delicious cream.
