  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 7 oz hot brewed coffee
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Irish whiskey
  • ¼ cup whipped cream
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sweeten Coffee: Add your 7 oz of hot brewed coffee and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to a mug. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved, ensuring your coffee is evenly sweetened.
  2. Add Whiskey: Stir in 2 teaspoons of Irish whiskey into the sweetened coffee mixture, blending the flavors together smoothly.
  3. Top with Cream: Gently spoon ¼ cup of whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee, allowing it to float on top as a rich, creamy layer.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings or a pinch of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed hot coffee for the best flavor.
  • Adjust brown sugar to taste if you prefer it less or more sweet.
  • The whipped cream should be lightly whipped so it floats well on top.
  • Optional garnishes like chocolate or cinnamon add extra aroma and depth.
  • Use good quality Irish whiskey to elevate the drink’s taste.
