OLD-FASHIONED IRISH COFFEE

If you are looking for a delicious adult beverage, then you need to try my Old-Fashioned Irish Coffee recipe!
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE OLD-FASHIONED IRISH COFFEE:
- Traditionally, Jameson whiskey is used in this drink but you can use any other milder Irish whiskey that you like.
- The heavy cream has been thickened some. I do this by gently whipping it with a hand mixer until it becomes thicker. Alternatively, you could just mix in some cool whip to it as well.
- Pouring it over the spoon helps to avoid the cream sinking down into the coffee (but not necessary.)
- You can drink this as-is or mix the cream into the drink itself. There is no right or wrong on how you want to drink this.
- If you want it even more authentic, heat up the whiskey with the sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Don't bring to a boil, so the alcohol doesn't boil away. This gives it more of a caramel flavor.
- Use any coffee that you love. I prefer to not use flavored coffee but if you want a little more flavor to this drink you can absolutely use your favorite flavored coffee. If you're sensitive to caffeine then try a decaffeinated coffee with this recipe.
