Things You’ll Need
- Use freshly brewed coffee- I prefer to grind my beans right before I brew a fresh pot of coffee. Using a bold flavor will enhance the Irish experience.
- Maple syrup to sweeten. Use about 1/4 teaspoon or less just to throw off the rich whiskey flavor if you prefer. You can also use sugar/brown sugar.
- A good Irish Whiskey (Jameson)
- Bailey’s Irish Cream
- Mug
- Whipped cream (optional)
Irish coffee is a cocktail consisting of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar, stirred, and topped with cream. The coffee is drunk through the cream.
How To Make Irish Coffee
- Preheat your mug by pouring hot water into it. This allows the brown sugar to melt as soon as you place the sugar in afterwards. Once you pour the hot water in your glass, immediately dump it out
- Add your brown sugar to the bottom of the glass
- Pour in your hot freshly brewed strong coffee to about 3/4 of the way
- Add some whiskey (I do a splash or two) yes, I’m weak
- You can also use Bailey’s as an added alcohol
- Shake the whipped cream and slowly dollop on top of the coffee so it doesn’t seep into the bottom of the glass. You can use a hot spoon to keep it from slipping.
