INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

  • Preheat a clear-stemmed glass with very hot water. Add the sugar and brewed coffee and stir well.
  • Once sugar has melted, stir in the Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey.
  • Gently whip the heavy cream by shaking it in a protein shaker with a blender ball – you want a still somewhat loose, not stiff consistency.
  • Pour the cream over the back of a hot teaspoon to top the drink (and prevent cream from penetrating the top of the drink).
