Irish Coffee
I love Irish Coffee: the sweet, strong, black coffee with whiskey flowing through the cold cream layer is just heaven.
Servings: 1
Equipment
- Tall glass mug
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee black, strong, hot, but not above 178F
- 3 tbsp sugar cane, granulated
- ¼ cup whisky Irish, preferably Bushmills Original
- 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream or, really, as much as fits
Instructions
- Preheat the mug by pouring boiling (or as hot as you have) water in it and letting it stand to heat up the mug.Pour out the hot water.
- Put the sugar in the glass or mug. Add the hot coffee and stir vigorously with a spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the whiskey and stir vigorously with a spoon until it is well mixed.
- Put a tablespoon on top so its edges are even with the surface of the liquid and pour on cold heavy cream until it covers the top, moving the spoon up to keep the edges even with the surface of the cream.Carefully, to not disturb the layers, pull out the spoon.
Notes
Note: stir the sugar and coffee together before adding the whiskey.
Note: pour the cream gently in a spoon held bowl down.
