Irish Coffee Ingredients:
- 4 oz hot coffee
- 2 oz Irish whiskey
- 2 oz heavy cream
- 1 tsp dark brown sugar or demerara syrup
Directions:
- Heat treat the glass with hot water. This is simply adding hot water to the cocktail glass so that it does not leach heat from the cocktail.
- Prepare your hot coffee.
- Whip some heavy cream so that it begins to thicken – to the point where it can stay as a drop on your finger. We don’t want whipped cream, but we also don’t want straight cream – we want somewhere in between.
- Empty the hot water from the glass.
- Add the sugar or syrup to the glass and add about an ounce of hot coffee. Then, using a bar spoon, stir until the sugar has dissolved into the coffee.
- Add the whiskey.
- Continue to add coffee until you have a gap about an 1/2.5 cm from the top, stirring as you go.
- Add the cream to the top by means of a squeeze bottle, or by pouring it over the back of a spoon so that it slowly pours into the top of the cocktail.
- Serve and enjoy!
