Best Irish Coffee

Irish whiskey (that’s 3 tablespoons I used Jameson)

maple syrup,

coffee (that’s 3/4 cup use your favorite roast)

Whipped cream,

Pour the whiskey and 1 teaspoon maple syrup into a heat-safe mug. Pour in a splash of the coffee and stir with a spoon until the maple syrup dissolves into the coffee.

Pour in the rest of the coffee. Taste, and stir in additional maple syrup if you would like a sweeter drink.

Top with whipped cream. If your whipped cream is lightly whipped (soft peaks), you may need to pour it slowly over a spoon so it floats on top. Serve while the drink is still warm!

Wow- my husband and I loved this recipe. Tasted just like the Irish coffees we had in Ireland. We used Paddy’s Irish Whiskey and Peet’s Holiday Blend.

Thank you for your kind words, It’s so lovely.

Hey, what glasses are those? I love them and need them in my life, please let me know!

Yum!  Just like we used to have during the holidays with my in-laws   I will have to bring this tradition back during Thanksgiving &amp; Christmas! Thank you!

Where did you get the serving glasses, and who makes them?
This is about the Irish Coffee recipe.  Thanks

I like to use the traditional lightly whipped heavy cream; about 200 to 300 whips of the chilled whisk in a chilled stainless steel bowl should do it. It should float easily when poured over the bottom of the bowl of a tablespoon. If it melts into the coffee then it needs a few more whips of the whisk. When using a thick enough layer it will reform over the Irish coffee after dunking your doughnut in it. 

I'm all for the traditional ingredients and preparations but I skip the freshly ground nutmeg.

Love the idea of maple syrup in lieu of sugar and it certainly is a perfect substitute! I added a stitch of Bailey’s in my whipped cream mixture for texture. Adding a Ceylon cinnamon stick in the mug was sublime

Loved this recipe!
I actually put a teaspoon of sugar and real vanilla extract in my whipping cream, and it was YUMMY!  Loved the maple syrup in the coffee/whiskey mixture!  Thank you for this!

Hello. I have enjoyed Irish coffee with a drizzle of green Creme de menthe on top of the whipped cream.
