Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces Irish whiskey
  • 4 ounces fresh-brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 ounces heavy cream

Instructions

  • To warm coffee cups, fill with almost boiling hot water.
  • Whip the cream until thick, but not stiff; it should still be able to run off of a spoon.
  • Pour the warm water out of the coffee mugs. Fill 3/4 full with coffee, add the brown sugar and stir til dissolved.
  • Add the whiskey and stir to combine.
  • Hold a spoon upside down over the coffee and gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon, allowing it to gently pool on top of the coffee; filling to the top of the mug. Do not stir; sip and enjoy!
