Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sugar or a sugar cube
  • 2 oz Irish whiskey
  • 5 oz coffee hot, freshly brewed
  • 1 oz heavy whipping cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whip the cream gently so that it is in between runny and stiff. It should be a much less runny, but still be able to pour slowly.
  2. Put the sugar and whiskey in an Irish coffee mug or glass (8 oz).
  3. Pour in the hot coffee and stir to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Using a tablespoon, turn it upside down and hold it against the side of the glass and gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon. It will stay as a layer on top of the coffee without mixing with it if it's done correctly.
  5. Wipe the edge of the glass and serve immediately without stirring the cream into the coffee.

Notes

  • Double the ingredients for two drinks.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the whiskey, however, it will no longer be an Irish coffee.
