Recipe: Irish Coffee

Ah, there's nothin' like the luck of the Irish, and we're feeling it when we sip a lovely Irish coffee!

Ireland

We love the Emerald Isle, and we think you will, too!

From Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, from Belfast to Cork, Ireland packs a punch with its scenery, famous beverages, incredible foods (really!), and lively history. Think castles, casks, and craic!

Don't know what craic is? You will! This Irish word, pronounced "crack," simply means fun! And you can't avoid fun here.

We can create the just-right itinerary for you in Ireland, no matter what kind of craic you're looking for.

In the meantime, enjoy this Irish Coffee recipe, and dream of the Emerald Isle!

Irish Coffee

Ingredients per serving:

• 1.5 oz. Irish whiskey (try Tullamore Dew for a traditional flavor or Jameson for a smoother touch)
• 4-6 oz. hot coffee
• 1 tsp. brown sugar
• Fresh whipped cream, as desired (sweetened whipped cream is not necessary)
• Glass mugs are traditional for this pretty drink

Instructions:

• Add brown sugar to serving mug or glass
• Add 4-6 oz. of hot coffee and stir to dissolve the sugar
• Add Irish whiskey and stir lightly
• Top with whipped cream, pouring the cream over the back of a spoon that just touches the coffee, so that the cream will float on top
• Enjoy sipping the delicious mixture through the cream!​
