Preparation Steps
Brew the Coffee
Brew a fresh cup of coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). Ensure it is strong and hot.
Sweeten the Coffee
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar into the hot brewed coffee until fully dissolved.
Add Irish Whiskey
Pour 1 oz of Irish whiskey into the coffee and stir gently to combine.
Add Baileys
Add 1 oz of Baileys Irish Cream to the coffee mixture and stir gently.
Prepare the Cream Topping
In a separate bowl, lightly whip 1 oz of heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.
Top the Coffee
Carefully pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the coffee to create a layered effect.
Garnish
Sprinkle a pinch of ground coffee or cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream for garnish.
