Ingredients

1 cup hot brewed coffee
1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey (e.g., Jameson)
1 to 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or to taste)
2 tablespoons heavy cream, lightly whipped

Instructions

Warm a heatproof glass or mug by filling with hot water; let stand for a minute, then discard water.
Add brown sugar to the warm glass, then pour in the hot coffee and stir until sugar dissolves.
Stir in the Irish whiskey.
Gently pour the lightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon held just above the coffee surface so it floats on top.
Serve immediately without stirring.

Tips

For best results, use freshly brewed strong coffee.
The cream should be lightly whipped to a pourable consistency, not stiff.
To float the cream properly, pour it over the back of a warm spoon.
