Classic Irish Coffee


Title: Classic Irish Coffee
Categories: None
Yield: 2 Servings

1/4 c Chilled whipping cream
3 ts Sugar
1 1/3 c Hot strong coffee
6 tb (3 oz.) Irish whiskey

Someone requested some Irish beverage recipes recently, but I can't find
that newsletter. Here are 2 recipes from May 1996 Bon Appetit magazine--p.
124, 188. This issue focused totally on the country of Ireland and it's
cuisine; I loved it-cover to cover. I must admit that I have a liking for
that great Irish beverage export--Bailey's Irish cream (on the rocks);-)

Place whipping cream and 2 teaspoons sugar in medium bowl. Whisk until
cream holds firm peaks. Refrigerate cream up to 30 minutes. Warm 2 Irish
coffee glasses(small glass mugs with handles) or heatproof stemmed glasses
by running very hot water into them. Dry quickly. Place 1/2 teaspoon sugar
in each warm glass. Pour in hot coffee and stir to dissolve sugar. Add 3
tablespoons Irish whiskey to each. Spoon chilled cream over coffee in each
glass and serve. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by Paula Thompson
