Traditional Irish Coffee

By dpearce

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 6 ounces freshly brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• Lightly whipped heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

Place brown sugar in a coffee mug or heat-proof glass. Fill mug 3/4-full with hot coffee; stir well to melt sugar. Stir in whiskey.

Carefully pour the cream over coffee so it floats on top. (See Note)

Do not stir after adding cream, as the true flavor is obtained by drinking the hot coffee and Irish whiskey through the cream.
