What you need

A glass

¾ ounce of Irish Whiskey
¾ ounce of Bailey’s
Sugar (optional)
Whipped Cream (preferably homemade)
One Maraschino cherry

Directions

Once you have gathered your ingredients and tools, you are ready to make this fantastic Irish Cream coffee recipe. You will need to first pre heat the glass. The most efficient and easiest way of going about this, is by pouring the hot water into the glass. Once the glass has been preheated, you can dump the water out. Add the bailey’s and the whiskey into the preheated glass. Mix well. Then slowly and carefully, fill the glass with the four ounces of coffee while stirring well. At this time you can also add in the sugar, if you want your coffee sweetened. You can also sweeten the coffee prior to adding it into the mixture.

Slowly, pour the homemade whip cream over the back of a warm spoon onto the Irish cream coffee mixture. You do not want the whip cream to break the surface of the coffee in this Irish Cream coffee recipe. To finish this recipe, add the Maraschino cherry and you are ready to serve this delicious hot drink.

John Wolcott December 30, 2009 at 10:56 pm: I wonder how much Bailey’s is used in this recipe.
M. Craig Weaver September 22, 2010 at 8:39 am: The directions tell you to “Add the bailey’s and the whiskey”, but Bailey’s is not in the ingredient list. I assume that the Baileys in the directions is a remnant from the Bailey’s Irish Coffee recipe, which was probably used as a template for this recipe. Please correct this.
