- Start by brewing 1 cup of hot coffee.

- Pour the hot brewed coffee into the warmed glass, then add 1 1/2 ounces of Irish whiskey and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Irish Coffee, a classic cocktail with a rich history, is believed to have been created in the 1940s by Joe Sheridan, a chef at the Foynes Port in Ireland. The story goes that he added whiskey to coffee to warm up a group of American passengers on a cold winter evening, and topped it with cream. The addition of a cinnamon stick for garnish adds a delightful aroma and a hint of spice to the drink. Today, this iconic beverage can be enjoyed in many Irish pubs and restaurants, with the best versions often found in Dublin and along the scenic countryside. The key to a perfect Irish Coffee lies in using quality Irish whiskey, freshly brewed coffee, and perfectly whipped cream, all topped with a fragrant cinnamon stick for that extra touch of warmth and flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also experiment with alternative methods such as adding a sprinkle of cinnamon powder or using flavored cream for a unique twist on this beloved drink.
