Best Irish Coffee I've ever had!

“A drop of the craythur.”
That’s what the Irish say when lacing a beverage with a bit of whiskey.

Ingredients

• 4 Tbls Irish whiskey (Jamesons)
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• boiling hot coffee
• lightly whipped fresh cream

Preparation

Step 1

Take a steamed glass.

Pour in 1/4 gill (four tablespoons) of Irish whisky.
Add 2 teaspoons brown sugar and boiling coffee to within 3/4 inch of the top of the glass.

Stir briskly until sugar is completely dissolved.

Add cream, lightly whipped, and pour into the glass over the back of a teaspoon so that the cream will not sink.

To enjoy the full flavor of the Irish coffee do not stir when cream is added.
