Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz hot brewed coffee
- 1.5 oz Irish whiskey
- 2 tsp packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream, lightly whipped
Instructions
- Warm a clear glass mug or heatproof glass by filling it with hot water; let it sit for one minute, then discard the water.
- Add the brown sugar to the bottom of the warmed glass.
- Pour the hot coffee over the sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the Irish whiskey to the coffee mixture.
- Gently pour the lightly whipped heavy cream over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the coffee mixture.
- Serve immediately without stirring.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed, strong coffee for the best flavor.
- Whip the cream just until soft peaks form; it should be pourable, not stiff.
- For a richer taste, use demerara or dark brown sugar.
