Serves 1

Ingredients

Cocoa powder
1 teaspoon, for dusting
Whipped cream
dollop to top each serving
Brown sugar
2 teaspoons
Irish whiskey
1.5 ounces
Strong brewed coffee
8 ounces

Instructions

  1. Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee.
  2. While the coffee is brewing, take your serving glass and add the Irish whiskey and brown sugar.
  3. Once the coffee is ready, pour it into the glass, stirring well until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Top your Irish coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Be careful not to mix the cream into the coffee, as it should float on top, acting as an insulating layer to keep the coffee hot.
  5. Finish off by lightly dusting the top with cocoa powder for a touch of rich sweetness.
  6. Serve hot, savoring the blend of robust coffee and smooth whiskey, sweetened with a hint of brown sugar and topped with creamy whipped cream.

Tips

  • 💡 For a dairy-free version, replace the whipped cream with a non-dairy whipped topping.
  • 💡 You can also replace the brown sugar with a sweetener of your choice. However, brown sugar adds a unique depth of flavor that complements the whiskey and coffee perfectly.
  • 💡 This Irish coffee recipe is traditionally served in a clear, heat-resistant glass to showcase the beautiful layers.
