Ingredients

☕ 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee. See our coffees here.

🥃 45 ml of high-quality Irish whiskey

🥄 2 teaspoons of brown sugar

🍦 Whipped cream (preferably unsweetened)

Instructions

Start by preparing a cup of strong, aromatic coffee. You can use a traditional coffee maker, a French press, or any other method that allows you to obtain good coffee. The quality of the coffee is essential, so make sure to use fresh beans ground just before brewing.

Heat a teaspoon of brown sugar in the microwave or in a small saucepan until it dissolves. Then, add it to the coffee and stir to mix well.

Add the Irish whiskey to the cup of sweetened coffee. The whiskey is the heart of this drink, and its distinctive flavor will give it that special touch.

Now comes the magic touch: the whipped cream. Carefully pour the cream slowly over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the coffee. The whipped cream should not mix with the coffee, but rather form a layer on top of it.

If you wish, sprinkle a little cinnamon or cocoa powder over the cream to give it an extra touch of flavor and decoration.

Finally, enjoy your Irish coffee slowly to savor every sip and appreciate the fusion of flavors that blend in this incredible drink.

Ready! Now you are an expert in preparing authentic Irish coffee at home. Surprise your friends and family with this delicious recipe and enjoy unforgettable moments together!
