Irish cold coffee is a direct jolt to the soul as it has the best of both worlds; caffeine and booze. Here’s the recipe for Irish coffee that you’ve been waiting for.

Ingredients

½ cup freshly brewed coffee, hot 1 ½ tsp granulated sugar 1 heaping teaspoon of brown sugar 4 tbsp Irish whiskey Fresh whipped cream

Step 1

Take your preheated mug and fill ¾ of the mug with the hot coffee.

Step 2

Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to it and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

While adding whisky, make sure you continuously stir the concoction. Add ice, as needed.

Step 4

Lastly, top it with whipped cream. Gently let the cream sit on top.

Step 5

Don’t break the surface of the coffee. This adds a second layer to the coffee giving a cloudy look on the top.
