Binny's Home Bartender: Irish Coffee
Classic Irish Coffee
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Bushmills Original Irish Whiskey or Jameson Blended Irish Whiskey or Irish Whiskey
- 6 oz freshly brewed hot coffee
- 1-2 tsp brown sugar or Gilway Demerara Natural Amber Cane Sugar Cubes
- 1 oz heavy cream, lightly whipped (or store-bought whipped cream)
How to make
-
Warm the glass: Fill a heatproof glass or Irish coffee mug with hot water, let sit for 1 minute, then discard the water.
-
Sweeten the coffee: Add brown sugar to the glass, then pour in the hot coffee and stir until fully dissolved.
-
Add whiskey: Stir in Irish whiskey until well combined.
-
Top with cream: Lightly whip the heavy cream until slightly thick but still pourable. Gently float the cream over the back of a spoon on top of the coffee to create a layered effect. Or, save time and use store-bought whipped cream.

Serve immediately
