National Irish Coffee Day could not have come at a better time: With temperatures below freezing, we sometimes need that extra push to get us out when it feels like it's single digits outside.
Ingredients
1 ½ oz. of Jameson Irish whiskey
5-7 oz. hot coffee or 2 shots of espresso
1-2 tsp. brown sugar
Fresh whipped cream
Instructions
Run hot water slowly over a glass mug until it’s at room temperature or hotter, and then dry it (pouring hot coffee into a cold glass could cause it to crack)
Add brown sugar to mug
Pour in whiskey
Add coffee or espresso, leaving space at top for whipped cream
Stir until sugar is completely dissolved
Set whipped cream on drink
Do not stir (drink stays warmer longer with the cream sitting on top, and the warm sweet coffee is meant to be sipped through the luxurious creme)
