Ingredients
- some hot water
- six ounces of hot, fresh brewed coffee
- two cocktail sugar cubes
- a jigger (or shot) of your favorite Irish whiskey
- fresh (preferably homemade) whipped cream
Directions
To start off, you will need to fill your empty glass with the hot water to preheat the glass. After you fill it, let it preheat the glass for a few seconds and then proceed to dump the water out. Follow by pouring the freshly brewed coffee into the glass until it is about three quarters of the way filled. Then, place the two cocktail sugar cubes into the mix. Stir the mixture until the sugar cubes have dissolved. You can then add the shot or jigger of your favorite Irish whiskey into the coffee and sugar mix. Stir again. Then using a warm spoon, flip it over, and let the homemade whipped cream carefully slide over the spoon’s back and onto your Irish coffee mixture. You want to make sure that the whipped cream does not break into the Irish coffee’s surface.

Does anybody know the ‘actual’ brand of Irish whiskey they use at the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco? I had a couple this past June and it was top shelf.

Had my first Irish coffee, while stationed in Germany, in a small cafe about half a block from the cathedral in Regensberg. Strong German coffee, 2 ounces of Irish coffee, a tspoon of sugar and cover the top with stiffly whipped cream. Absolutely delicious. After 2, no one wanted dessert.
