Guaranteed to warm the cockles of anyone`s heart, this hot beverage blends strong coffee, Irish whiskey and a small amount of sugar. It`s usually served in a glass mug and topped by a dollop of whipped cream.
A classic Irish coffee consists of hot coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar, with double cream, whipped until it begins to stiffen, floated on top. Irish coffee can be considered to be a variation on the hot toddy.
