Ingredients
- 240 ml Freshly brewed coffee
- 45 ml Irish whiskey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Whipped cream
- 1 pinch Vanilla bean or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Start by brewing 240 ml (1 cup) of fresh, strong coffee using your preferred method, whether it's a drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over.
Step 2
While the coffee is brewing, gently whip the heavy cream in a small bowl until it thickens slightly but is still pourable. Do not overwhip; you want it to remain smooth and flow easily.
Step 3
Once the coffee is ready, pour it into a heatproof glass or mug.
Step 4
Add 45 ml (1.5 oz) of Irish whiskey into the coffee, followed by 1 tsp of granulated sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Step 5
Slowly pour the lightly whipped heavy cream over the back of a spoon held just above the coffee, so it floats on top and creates a layered effect.
Step 6
Top with 2 tbsp of whipped cream for extra creaminess and decoration.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with a pinch of cocoa powder or a few scrapes of vanilla bean for added flair.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Irish Vanilla Coffee while it's warm!
