An easy Irish coffee recipe using only 4 ingredients like they make in a Dublin pub.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sugar or a sugar cube
  • 2 oz Irish whiskey
  • 5 oz coffee hot, freshly brewed
  • 1 oz heavy whipping cream
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Whip the cream gently so that it is in between runny and stiff. It should be a much less runny, but still be able to pour slowly.
  • Put the sugar and whiskey in an Irish coffee mug or glass (8 oz).
  • Pour in the hot coffee and stir to dissolve the sugar.
  • Using a tablespoon, turn it upside down and hold it against the side of the glass and gently pour the cream over the back of the spoon. It will stay as a layer on top of the coffee without mixing with it if it's done correctly.
  • Wipe the edge of the glass and serve immediately without stirring the cream into the coffee.

Notes

  • Double the ingredients for two drinks.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the whiskey, however, it will no longer be an Irish coffee.
