Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Add sugar to a mug then pour over the hot coffee, stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the whiskey and stir,
- Lightly whip the cream to thicken to soft peaks. You can add a dash of sugar to sweeten if you prefer.
- Add a dollop of cream on top of the Irish coffee and serve.
Notes
- Good quality coffee makes all the difference, it must be strong and rich to make an authentic Irish coffee. I recommend using a French press or Cafetiere to brew your coffee.
- Make sure to use Irish whiskey, it doesn't need to be expensive.
- Use fresh heavy cream and avoid anything in cans.
- If you want to add a caramelized flavor to the coffee you can use brown sugar instead of granulated.
- I recommend whipping the cream by hand to avoid over whipping, the cream should resemble soft peaks so it's still smooth and creamy (see photos).
- If you want to impress, warm up your mugs before making your cocktail this will keep it warmer or longer and makes it extra cozy!
- If caffeine is not your friend or you're avoiding it you can use decaf coffee instead.
