How to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a proper Irish Coffee

The Irish know a thing or two about how to celebrate and even when it comes to coffee they know a great tradition. Here at UKVending we’d like to join in celebrating Ireland’s patron saint so we have found the best recipe to make the perfect Irish Coffee.

How To Make Irish Coffee
INGREDIENTS
• 6 ounces
hot, freshly brewed coffee
• 1 teaspoon
granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon
packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 ounces
Irish whiskey
• Freshly whipped cream (see Recipe Notes)

EQUIPMENT
• Heatproof glass or mug
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your mug, then fill with coffee. Pour hot water into a mug or heatproof glass to take the chill off. Pour out the water. This will also prevent your glass from cracking. Fill the mug about 3/4 full with the coffee.
2. Add sweetener. Add the granulated and brown sugars and stir until fully dissolved.
3. Add Irish whiskey. Add the whiskey and stir to incorporate.
4. Top with whipped cream. If using lightly whipped cream, pour it slowly over a warm spoon onto the coffee, being careful not to break the coffee’s surface. This takes some practice. A more foolproof way to not break the surface is to whip the cream a bit more and dollop it gently on top. Drink while hot!
