Equipment

  • Coffee brewing device

Ingredients
  

  • 14-16 tablespoons coffee coarsely ground
  • 1 quart cold filtered water
  • 4 parts boiling water
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 6 ounces Irish whiskey
  • Heavy cream slightly whipped

Instructions
 

  • Step one is to brew your coffee, you can have it hot or cold all depends on how you like it. I would recommend using Cold Brew if you are going iced. You can do it two ways, the first is old school cold brewing. That takes about 12 -24 hours to make. Or you can spend a little money and buy a cold brew coffee maker. And take about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Divide the coffee between 4 mugs and top with one part boiling water each.
  • Add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Add 1 ounce of whiskey to each mug.
  • Whip the heavy cream until it is halfway to stiff whipped cream.
  • Spoon about 4 tablespoons of cream onto each mug and serve immediately.
