Ingredients:

  • 4 oz strong hot coffee
  • 1.5 oz Irish whiskey
  • 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 oz heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

  1. Fill a glass mug with hot water and let it sit for 1 minute to warm the vessel.
  2. Discard the warming water and pat the rim dry.
  3. Add the brown sugar to the bottom of the warmed glass.
  4. Pour in the Irish whiskey and stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved into a syrup.
  5. Pour in the hot coffee and stir gently to combine with the whiskey-sugar mixture.
  6. Pour cold heavy cream into a small bowl and whisk by hand (2 mins) or with a frother (30 secs) until soft peaks form.
  7. Hold a teaspoon upside down over the surface of the coffee, with the curved back of the spoon just touching the liquid.
  8. Slowly pour the cream over the back of the spoon to create a professional float.
