Recipe Number 1:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of fresh brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 ½ ounces of Irish Whiskey

Instructions

    1. First you will want to pre-warm your coffee cup by filling it with hot water and let it sit while the coffee is brewing.
    2. In the meantime, whip the heavy cream for a thicker consistency. Once the coffee has brewed, empty the water and pour in the coffee and brown sugar.
    3. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and add the whiskey and Guinness. Top it off with the whipped cream and enjoy. Sláinte!
