Equipment

  • Coffee Maker: Any type will work since we're making one cup at a time.
  • Heatproof Glass or Mug: A clear glass shows the beautiful layers!
  • Whisk or Spoon: To stir the drink well.
  • Measuring Cup: Helps to get the right amount of each ingredient.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

  • Freshly Brewed Coffee: 1 cup
  • Irish Whiskey: 1 ounce
  • Bailey’s Irish Cream: 1 ounce
  • Sugar: 1-2 teaspoons to taste
  • Whipped Cream: Optional for topping

I always recommend fresh coffee for the best taste. Adjust sugar and whiskey to fit your preference.

Instructions

Here’s how you create this delicious drink:

  • Brew the Coffee: Use your favorite coffee beans. Pour 1 cup of hot coffee into a heatproof glass.
  • Add Whiskey and Bailey's: Stir in 1 ounce of Irish whiskey and 1 ounce of Bailey’s. Mix until blended well.
  • Sweeten: Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar or more if you like it sweeter. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Top with Whipped Cream: For a special touch, gently float some whipped cream on top. Use the back of a spoon to help layer it.

Enjoy sipping it warm!

    Notes

    A few tips to make your drink amazing:
    Coffee Choice: Use medium to strong coffee for the best flavor.
    Temperature: Ensure the coffee is hot enough to help mix the ingredients.
    I’d suggest experimenting with the whiskey level if you prefer a stronger or milder kick.
