Ingredients
- ½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1½ ounces Irish whiskey
- 1½ ounces Allen's Coffee Brandy
- 3 ounces hot, strong coffee
- 1 ounce whole milk
Instructions
Prepare the cream:
- Pour the ½ cup cold heavy whipping cream into a small bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream for one to two minutes—it should be thickened but still pourable, like the texture of melted Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
- Hold the cream aside.
Warm the glass and add sugar:
- Run hot water into an Irish coffee glass two or three times until the glass is warmed. Shake out any excess water, and dry the outside.
- Spoon the 1 tablespoon brown sugar into the bottom of the Irish coffee glass.
Add the alcohol:
- Pour the 1½ ounces Irish whiskey and 1½ ounces Allen's Coffee Brandy into the glass.
Add coffee and milk:
- Pour the 3 ounces hot, strong coffee into the glass, followed by the 1 ounce whole milk. Use a spoon to gently stir the ingredients together.
Add the cream:
- Slowly pour the thickened cream over the back of warm spoon onto the top of the coffee. It should float on the top to create a thick, creamy top to the drink.
Garnish and serve:
- Add two or three coffee beans to the top of the cream. Add a lobster cocktail pick to the glass. Serve the Coffee Brandy Irish Coffee immediately.
Notes
- Choose an Irish coffee glass with an 8-ounce capacity or larger for this recipe.
- Either whole milk or half-and-half will work in the recipe.
