Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is one of the best hot cocktails to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! It's a festive way to start a morning or enjoy after a meal.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
• 4 ounces hot coffee
• 1 1/2 ounce Irish whiskey

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Whip the Cream - In a medium bowl, add the heavy whipping cream. Whisk until it lightly thickens and just begins to hold a soft peak, about 2 to 3 minutes. It helps to tilt the bowl while whipping by hand. It should be frothy enough to scoop and float on top of the coffee but not be too stiff. Refrigerate until ready to top.
2. 2Warm the Mug - Fill a tall mug or glass cup with hot tap water and allow it to sit for about 2 minutes to warm. Discard the water when ready to make the cocktail, don’t let the mug cool down completely. This step is optional but recommended.
3. 3Dissolve the Sugar - To the warmed glass, add the brown sugar and hot coffee. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
4. 4Add the Whiskey - Use a jigger to add the whiskey to the glass and briefly stir to combine.
5. 5To Serve - Top the drink with 1 inch of whipped cream to fill the glass. Garnish with sprinkles and chocolate shavings if desired.
