1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee Old Linn Run coffee, of course!
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 jigger Irish whiskey (1 1/2 ounces or 3 tablespoons)
Heavy cream, slightly whipped
Directions
Fill footed mug or a mug with hot water to preheat it, then empty. Pour piping hot coffee into warmed glass until it is about 3/4 full. Add the brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Blend in Irish whiskey. Top with a collar of the whipped heavy cream by pouring gently over back of spoon. Serve hot.
Tips for the Perfect Irish Coffee
- Heat your glass, it stops your drink from going cold!
- Make sure the sugar is well dissolved in the coffee – check the bottom of the glass for granules
- One measure of whiskey is plenty – but make it an Irish measure!
- Be gentle with the cream. A light whip is all you need to layer it on top
- Pour the cream over the back of the spoon (yes, we noticed Gareth used the front, but he’s a pro!)
- Top off with a little sprinkle of chocolate
