Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups strong hot coffee
4 ounces Irish whiskey, such as Knappogue Castle

Steps:

  • Whisk cream and sugar together in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Divide coffee and whiskey among 4 coffee cups, then top each with 1/2 cup whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

  • Use a good quality Irish whiskey. A blend is typically used, but you can use a single malt if you prefer.
  • Gently whip the cream until it is light and fluffy. Do not over-whip, or it will become grainy.
  • Serve the Irish coffee immediately, while the coffee is still hot and the cream is still fluffy.
