Irish Coffee
Servings: 1
1 jigger Irish Whiskey, such as Jameson's
1 or 2 tsp sugar, preferably raw sugar or Demarara sugar
Freshly made hot coffee
2-4 tbsp chilled whipped cream
Heat, but do not boil, the Irish whiskey. A microwave works well for this. (20 to 30 secs on high power should do the trick) Pour the warmed whiskey into a warmed 7-ounce coffee cup, goblet or Irish coffee glass and add the sugar. Fill with the hot coffee to within about a half inch of the top of the cup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Float the whipped cream on top of the hot coffee and serve immediately.
