Irish Coffee
- 2 ounces Irish Whiskey
- 4 ounces Hot coffee
- 2 ounces cream (Chilled)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Warm black coffee is poured into a pre-heated Irish coffee glass.
Whiskey and at least one teaspoon of sugar is added and stirred until dissolved.
Fresh thick chilled cream is carefully poured over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the coffee. The layer of cream will float on the coffee without mixing.
Plain sugar can be replaced with sugar syrup
I like to replace the sugar and creme with Baileys Irish creme, 2 ounces whiskey, 2 ounces baileys and 4 ounces coffee
damn, that's a nice variation! will have to try that some time!
