Irish Coffee
Description
Irish Coffee combines freshly brewed hot coffee with Irish whiskey and sweetened with coconut sugar to meld the bold coffee flavors with the warmth and subtle complexity of the whiskey. Stirring integrates the flavors evenly.
The drink is finished with a topping of whipped cream, which, when lightly whipped and poured carefully, floats on top creating a layered effect. The contrast between the strong coffee base and the creamy, smooth layer of whipped cream provides a pleasant drinking experience.
Traditionally served in clear glass mugs to showcase its layers, it’s ideal for enjoying as a warming beverage on cool days or as an after-dinner drink. The choice of sweetener can be adapted to taste while maintaining balance with the whiskey and coffee.
Ingredients
- 6 oz coffee freshly brewed
- 1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or other sweetener
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Pour the hot coffee into a mug, about 2/3 of the way full.
- Stir in the whiskey and your sweetener of choice.
- Top with the whipped cream. If your whipped cream is lightly whipped, you may need to pour it slowly over a spoon so it floats on top. Serve while the drink is still warm.
Notes
- Use a glass mug to display the layered effect of the coffee, whiskey, and whipped cream.
- Pour whipped cream slowly over a spoon if it is lightly whipped to help it float on top.
