Irish Coffee image

I recently returned from Ireland, where I was taught how to make 'real' Irish coffee. I haven't seen any recipe exactly like this elsewhere - I definitely didn't know this was how its made - so I thought I'd share. It's yummy, slightly sweet, and perfect for those cold nights in Ireland, especially when made with decaf.

Time 4m

Yield 1 drink, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey
4 ounces strong black coffee
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 -4 tablespoons heavy cream
boiling water
nutmeg or cinnamon

Steps:

  • Boil water and fill the glass mug to warm through. Dump out water.
  • Pour whiskey in glass, add coffee, sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Shake or vigorously stir heavy cream. Do NOT whip - the idea is to have frothy cream, not whipped stiff peaks. Gently float the cream on top of the coffee.
  • Optional: sprinkle nutmeg and/or cinammon on top.
