Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Glass: Warm a heatproof glass or mug by rinsing it with hot water, then empty it
Add Sugar and Whiskey: Add the brown sugar to the glass, then pour in the Irish whiskey. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the Coffee: Slowly pour the hot coffee into the glass, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Stir gently to combine.
Add the Cream: Lightly whip the heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable. Gently pour the cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the coffee.
Serve: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans if desired. Serve immediately without stirring, so each sip passes through the creamy layer.
