Irish Coffee

Course: Drinks

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. Irish whiskey
  • 3 oz. Rich hot coffee brewed
  • ¼ oz. Brown sugar simple syrup or ½ tsp. dry brown sugar
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream (must be full fat!)

Instructions

  • First, pour the heavy whipping cream into a cocktail shaker or mason jar and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds or until the cream thickens. You’ll be able to hear the liquid start to quiet as it thickens up—make sure the shaker or jar lid are secured! Set aside once the cream has set.
  • Add the brown sugar or syrup to your glass. Pour in the Irish whiskey.
  • Next add the brewed coffee until there’s about 1-½ inches of space left between the liquid contents and glass rim. If using dry brown sugar instead of simple syrup, stir after adding the coffee to dissolve the sugar.
  • Grab the heavy cream, take a bar or soup spoon, and slowly pour the cream over the back of the spoon to the rim. No need to stir—include both the cream and coffee/whiskey mixture in each sip as you enjoy.
