Ingredients

Directions

  1. Brew 4 cups of strong, fresh coffee using your preferred method.
  2. Pour the hot coffee into a saucepan and stir in 1/4 cup of sugar until fully dissolved.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of Irish whiskey to the coffee mixture and heat gently on low until warm, being careful not to let it boil.
  4. While the coffee warms, pour 1 cup of cold whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
  5. Whip the cream until it begins to thicken slightly, then add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey.
  6. Continue whipping the cream until it holds soft peaks but remains fluid enough to pour or spoon easily.
  7. Divide the hot coffee and whiskey mixture evenly among six heat-proof glasses or mugs.
  8. Spoon or pipe the flavored whipped cream gently over the back of a spoon onto the surface of each coffee, creating a thick floating layer.
  9. Serve immediately while the coffee is hot and the cream is cold.
