How to Make The Original Shannon Airport Irish Coffee
- Brew 6 ounces of freshly brewed, strong coffee.
- Gently heat the coffee. This helps the sugar dissolve better.
- Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to a heatproof glass (wine glass or Irish coffee glass works best).
- Pour the warm coffee into the glass until it's about halfway full.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add 1.5 ounces (44 ml) of good quality Irish whiskey. Stir gently.
- Slowly pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of chilled double (heavy) cream over the back of a spoon to create a thick layer that floats on top of the coffee. Do not stir.
- Sip slowly, enjoying the delightful blend of flavors.
