Ingredients

  • hot water for heating the mug
  • 6 ounces brewed black coffee
  • 2 teaspoons sugar or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Irish Whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Warm up the mug. Fill a mug with hot water and let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Mix the coffee. Empty the water from the mug. Add brewed coffee and stir in the sugar and whiskey.
  • Whip the cream. Place heavy cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until frothy, but pourable. You can also use an electric mixer.
