Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (180ml) hot, freshly brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon (12.5g) granulated sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon (12.5g) packed brown sugar
  • 1½ ounces (45ml) Irish whisky, preferably Jameson
  • freshly whipped cream (see Recipe Notes)

Method

Use a heatproof glass or mug, preheat for optimal results

Pour hot water into a mug or heat proof glass to take the chill off. Pour out the water. This will also prevent your glass from cracking. Fill the mug about three-quarters full with the coffee.

Add the granulated and brown sugars and stir until fully dissolved.

Add the whisky and stir to incorporate.

If using lightly whipped cream, pour it slowly over a warm spoon onto the coffee, being careful not to break the coffee's surface. This takes some practice. A more foolproof way to not break the surface is to whip the cream a bit more and dollop it gently on top. Drink while hot!

RECIPE NOTES:  Lightly whipped will give you a frothy cream collar on top. If you want to pile the cream high, you'll need to whip it to medium-stiff peaks.
