Ingredients

4 cup Strong fresh coffee
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Irish whiskey
1 cup Whipping cream
2 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Irish whiskey

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
