Instructions
Start with a heat-proof cup and some really good dark-brewed coffee. *It is recommended that you add hot water to your cup to warm it before mixing your cocktail.
Slightly warm and then aerate your 1 fl oz heavy cream by stirring rapidly with a whisk or fork, or whip heavy cream to a whipped cream consistency. Set aside.
Remove hot water from your glass. Begin with your 2 teaspoon light brown sugar, add hot 4 fl oz black coffee and stir.
Add the 1 ½ fl oz Irish Whiskey and stir.
Pour aerated heavy whipping cream over the back of a spoon and into your coffee mug, or dollop whipped cream onto the top of your Irish whiskey cocktail. Do not use the aerated cans of commercial whipped cream, as they can ruin your coffee drink.
Top with optional nutmeg, chocolate shavings, or 2-3 coffee beans if desired.
