Say what you want about the Irish, but they know how to start the day. This is the real deal, no nonsense recipe! Truly there is no better to start your morning.
Equipment
- Coffee Maker
- Measuring Equipment (jigger)
- Glass
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 120 ml Fresh-Brewed Coffee (4 oz)
- 45 ml Irish Whiskey (1½ oz)
- 30 ml Simple Syrup (1oz)
- Unsweetened Partially Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Before beginning this recipe, make the Partially Whipped Cream.
- Brew some coffee and keep it hot.
- In an Irish coffee glass, heat tempered glass, or mug, combine the coffee, whiskey, and simple syrup.
- Stir to combine.
- Gently ladle 2.5 cm (1 inch) of partially whipped cream on top of the coffee mixture, and serve immediately.
- You should end up with a 2 to 2.5cm ( ¾- to 1-inch) layer of cream that’s cleanly floating on top of the coffee, creating a sharp demarcation between black and white.
