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
Instructions:
- Pour the hot coffee into a heatproof mug.
- Add the Irish whiskey to the coffee.
- Top with the whipped cream.
- 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!
