Can you please tell me how to make an Irish coffee with flamed whisky. I used to drink it in Germany, but forgot how it was presented.

Thanks

To add a little variety, try a whipped mixture of 1/2 whipping cream and 1/2 Amaretto International Creme. And top it off with Ground Cinnamon Spice. Sláinte!
