Ingredients
- 6 ounces whiskey
- 24 fluid ounces coffee (enough for 4 cups of coffee)
- 4 teaspoons soft brown sugar
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces baileys
Optional garnish
- Powdered cocoa/hot chocolate
- Shaved chocolate
Instructions
- Make a pot of coffee (enough for 4 cups )
- In 4 separate glasses pour in 1.5 oz of whiskey.
- Pour the coffee into each glass leaving at least 2’ at the top.
- Stir in 1 tsp of soft brown sugar into each glass.
- In a jug whisk together the heavy cream and baileys. Whisk until it has a thick consistency if you want to pour it over the top. Whisk until stiff peaks if you want a whipped cream topping.
- If pouring the heavy cream on top, place a teaspoon upside down on top of the glass. The tip of the spoon needs to be just above the coffee and touching the inside of the glass. Slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of the spoon.
- If you are using the whipped cream version, you can spoon the whipped cream on top or use a piping bag with a tip for decorating.
- Garnish with powdered cocoa/hot chocolate or shaved chocolate.
