Ingredients

6 oz hot coffee
2 oz Irish whiskey
2 tsp brown sugar
1.5 oz heavy cream
0.25 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Brew 6 ounces of your favorite hot coffee and pour it into a heatproof glass mug or an Irish coffee glass.

Step 2

Add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to the hot coffee, stirring well until fully dissolved.

Step 3

Stir in 2 ounces of Irish whiskey, ensuring it is evenly mixed with the coffee and sugar.

Step 4

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, lightly whip 1.5 ounces of heavy cream along with 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The goal is to achieve a soft, semi-whipped texture—not stiff peaks.

Step 5

Carefully pour the semi-whipped cream over the back of a spoon so it floats gently on top of the coffee mixture, creating a distinct cream layer.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy by sipping the coffee through the cream.
