Method

  1. 1

    Warm an Irish coffee mug with hot water, discard the water and preheat the mug

  2. 2

    Add the brown sugar to the warm mug and pour in the Irish whiskey

  3. 3

    Fill the mug with hot brewed coffee, leaving room at the top, and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved

  4. 4

    Lightly whip the cream until it just thickens and pour it gently over the back of a spoon so it floats on the surface

  5. 5

    Serve without stirring so each sip comes through hot coffee then cooled by the cream

Irish Coffee combines hot coffee, Irish whiskey, brown sugar, and a floating layer of lightly whipped cream.
