Irish Coffee
Description
Irish Coffee is a warm beverage made by sweetening strong brewed coffee with granulated or brown sugar and blending in Irish whiskey. The drink is completed by a layer of whipped cream on top, which provides a creamy contrast to the bold coffee flavors and the warmth of the whiskey. Preparing it involves dissolving sugar in hot coffee before adding whiskey, then garnishing with cream. This combination results in a comforting and slightly sweetened drink that can be served hot. Optional garnishes such as cherries can add a subtle decorative touch.

- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 ½ oz Irish whiskey
