How to Make the Perfect Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is a warm, cozy drink that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is made with hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and sweetened cream. Here is how to make the perfect Irish coffee:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee  (we would recommend our Signature House Blend for its smooth and delicious flavour)
  • 2 ounces Irish whiskey
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • Sugar or simple syrup to taste
How to Make an Irish Coffee

 

Instructions:

  1. Pour the hot coffee into a heatproof mug.
  2. Add the Irish whiskey to the coffee.
  3. Top with the whipped cream.
  4. Drizzle with sugar or simple syrup, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality coffee and Irish whiskey.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of cream.
  • If you don't have whipped cream, you can use milk or half-and-half.
  • To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let cool.
  • Irish coffee is traditionally served in a heatproof mug called a "goblet".

Enjoy your perfect Irish coffee!
