Equipment
- Coffee mug or heatproof glass
- Measuring jigger or shot glass
- Spoon
- Hand whisk, milk frother, or small jar with lid
- Kettle or coffee maker
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey or other Irish whiskey
- 4-6 oz strong black coffee freshly brewed, hot
- 1-2 tsp brown sugar or maple syrup or demerara sugar
- 1-2 oz heavy whipping cream lightly whipped
- simple syrup optional
- freshly grated nutmeg optional garnish
- chocolate shavings optional garnish
Instructions
- Brew a cup of hot, strong black coffee.
- Pour the coffee into a warmed mug, leaving space at the top.
- Add sugar and stir until dissolved.

Notes
Brown sugar or demerara give a deeper flavor that complements Jameson. Maple syrup adds a smooth twist. Fresh coffee is key. Cream should be pourable and just thick enough to float. Use a warm mug to maintain temperature. Adjust sweetness to taste.
