Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 ounces (177 milliliters) hot brewed coffee
- 1 1/2 ounces (44 milliliters) Irish whiskey
Sweeteners:
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or white sugar, to taste)
Topping:
- Lightly whipped heavy cream
Instructions
- Warm the serving vessel by rinsing with hot water, then thoroughly dry to create an ideal temperature base for the beverage.
- Combine smooth Irish whiskey with granulated sugar in the preheated glass, creating a sweet alcoholic foundation.
- Pour freshly brewed, piping hot coffee into the glass, leaving a small space at the top for cream, and stir until sugar completely dissolves.
- Prepare lightly whipped cream by gently beating until it reaches a soft, billowy consistency with minimal peaks.
- Carefully layer the whipped cream over the coffee surface by slowly pouring it across the back of a spoon, allowing it to delicately float on top without penetrating the coffee layer.
- Serve immediately, instructing guests to sip the drink through the cream layer to experience the full spectrum of flavors, blending the rich coffee, smooth whiskey, and velvety cream.
Notes
- Warm your glass beforehand to maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature and enhance the overall drinking experience.
- Choose a high-quality Irish whiskey for a richer, more authentic flavor that elevates the entire cocktail.
- When floating cream, use slightly whipped cream at room temperature for the smoothest, most elegant layer on top.
- For a lighter version, substitute brown sugar with a sugar-free alternative or use a lower-calorie whiskey to reduce overall calories.
