  • 8

Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy or whipping cream
  • 7 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey
  • 6 cups rich, hot brewed coffee

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream and 3 tbsp sugar until very soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat 8 wineglasses by pouring very hot water into them. Drain water; add 2 tbsp whiskey to each glass.

Stir remaining 4 tbsp sugar into coffee until dissolved. For each drink, fill glass with coffee to within 1 1/4" from top. Hold large spoon upside down over top of glass; gradually pour whipped cream over back of spoon onto coffee (cream should float on top, about 1" thick). Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon, if desired.
