Instructions
Preheat the Glass Warm your glass by rinsing it with hot water. Discard the hot water and wipe dry.
Add Sugar Cube Place a sugar cube at the bottom of the preheated glass.
Pour Irish Whiskey Pour the Irish whiskey over the sugar cube. Allow it to soak into the cube for a moment.
Brew Coffee Brew a cup of strong, hot coffee.
Pour Coffee Over Whiskey and Sugar Pour the hot coffee over the sugar and whiskey in the glass. Stir gently until the sugar cube dissolves.
Top with Whipped Cream Float freshly whipped cream on top of the coffee by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Allow the cream to rest on the surface of the coffee.
Serve Immediately Serve the Irish coffee immediately while it's warm. The cream should float on top without fully mixing into the coffee.
