Irish Coffee Recipe

Daryl and Mindi Hirsch
Both boozy and caffeinated, this Irish Coffee pairs well with brunch. It's also ideal to sip on a cold winter afternoon.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 ounces coffee (freshly brewed and hot)
  • 2 ounces Irish whiskey
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • heavy cream (whipped to a light batter-like consistency)

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Place brown sugar into a heated Irish coffee glass.
  • Pour hot coffee and Irish whiskey into the same glass.
  • Stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Top with freshly whipped cream. You'll want to use a floating technique where you pour the cream onto the back of a spoon.
  • Do not stir or you'll lose the top layer of cream.

Notes

The easiest way to heat the glass is to temporarily fill it with boiling water. We use an electric tea kettle for maximum boiling efficiency.
