Coffee Whiskey Warm Classic Quick Winter

An Irish Coffee is not an ordinary cup of coffee. It's a moment in itself: a warm glass, whiskey, brown sugar and a soft layer of cream that you drink through. The coffee does the real work here, so use good coffee with enough body to stand up to the whiskey. Strong, full and just not bitter. This is how it works.

Recipe

Ingredients

How do you make a classic Irish Coffee?

Preheat your glass by filling it with boiling water. Let it sit for 30 seconds, then pour the water away. This helps the Irish Coffee stay warm longer.
Brew a strong cup of coffee of about 120 ml. Use ground coffee that is specifically suited to your brewing method, such as a Moka pot. Rich in flavor, not too light.
Put 1.5 tsp light brown sugar into the prewarmed glass and pour the hot coffee over it. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add 40 ml Irish whiskey and stir briefly.
Lightly whip the cream in a bowl. The cream should be thick enough to float, but still just pourable. Do not whip until stiff.
Gently spoon the lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee. This keeps the cream nicely floating as a separate layer on top.
Serve immediately and do not stir. The trick is that you drink the hot coffee through the cool cream.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

The quality of your coffee determines everything here. Go for a full, sturdy grind with enough character to keep up with the whiskey. A 50/50 blend of arabica and robusta works excellently: the arabica gives softness, the robusta provides strength and body. Exactly what you need in an Irish Coffee.

Serve the Irish Coffee in a nice heatproof glass so you can clearly see the layers. That not only makes it more enjoyable to drink, but also instantly more festive to put on the table. Perfect for a quiet evening or as a finisher to a good dinner together.
