Irish Coffee Recipe

No trip to Ireland is complete without experiencing an Irish Coffee. It was invented back in 1942 by Irish Chef Joe Sheridan and is a popular after dinner drink. Pubs and restaurants in Ireland have this famous cocktail on their menus and there is usually a restaurant and traditional Irish pub within walking distance of B&B accommodation. Which means only one thing, enjoy a short stroll to the local pub, take a seat in front of an open turf fire and look forward to sipping on a delicious Irish Coffee. Heaven!

Ingredients

60 ml of Irish Whiskey
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
Freshly made strong black coffee
Double cream freshly whipped to peak

Method

1. Gently warm an Irish Whiskey/Cofee glass in hot water.
2. Pour whiskey and sugar into the glass and stir.
3. Add the fresh made coffee filling the glass to within half an inch or so of the top.
4. Pour the cream onto the top of the mixture gently using the back of a spoon to prevent splashing. Do not stir.
5. Add grated chocolate to the top if required.
