Irish Cream Coffee

(Disclaimer: If you live in the United States, you must be 21 years of age or order to buy or drink alcohol)

Irish Coffee is one of my favorite after dinner drinks.  How can you resist a coffee drink with all that flavor and topped with a mount of whipped cream?!  Yum!

According to the International Bartender’s Association, Irish Coffee combines Irish Whiskey, hot coffee, brown sugar, and fresh cream.

This is my version of the Irish Cream Coffee.  My version incorporates the traditional ingredients and adds some decadent Irish Cream liquor in the mix.  Also, I prefer my cream to be whipped.

Since St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, I like to top by drink with some green colored sugar.  This drink is good any time of the year, but especially on St Patrick’s).  🍀☘️😋

Top with a generous mount of whipped cream.

If you like, add some green sugar sprinkles.

Cheers!  Enjoy responsibly!

Variation: Iced Coffee

If you are more of an iced coffee sort of person, you can serve this drink over ice.

1. Add the brown sugar, whiskey, and Irish cream liquor to the hot coffee.  Stir.
2. Allow the mixture to cool down.  You can speed up the process by refrigerating it.
3. Fill a tall glass with ice.
4. Pour the coffee mixture over the ice and top with whipped cream.
