How to Make Traditional Irish Coffee
- Add 1.5 ounces (44ml) of Irish whiskey and 1 teaspoon of sugar to a pre-warmed coffee mug.
- Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Slowly pour in 6 ounces (177ml) of freshly brewed hot coffee.
- Top with a generous dollop (approximately 2 tablespoons) of softly whipped cream. Avoid over-whipping!
- Adjust sugar to your preference.
- (Optional) For homemade whipped cream: Whip 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream in a chilled bowl until thickened. Do not overwhip; you want soft peaks, not stiff ones.
- Sláinte! (Cheers!)
