What would St. Patrick's Day dinner be without a good cup of Irish Coffee. For sure I don't want to be serving green cake or cookies. This is a terrific ending to any dinner, not just St.Patrick's Day.
Wishing Y'all a bit of the luck of the Irish today.
Irish Coffee
1 serving
print recipe
1 jigger Irish whiskey (1 1/4 ounces)
2 sugar cubes
good strong coffee
slightly sweetened whipping cream
Pour the whiskey into a warmed glass. Add the sugar cubes and then the hot coffee. To avoid possible breakage of the glass, pour hot coffee over a metal spoon in the glass. Stir well. Float the cream on the top of the coffee by pouring it over the back of a teaspoon. The result should be a dark hot coffee mixture topped by a band of white cream. When you take a sip you will be drinking hot coffee through the cool white cream. Please use only real whipping cream. It should be whipped just until thick, but not stiff.

ReplyDeleteWonderful recipe. I love Irish Coffee, but I love Kalua in coffee much more. I believe it should be made the same way.
