🥃 1.33 oz 40ml Tullamore Dew Blended Irish Whiskey
🥛 1 oz 30ml Glenview Farms Heavy Cream 36% Milkfat, slightly fluffed

Instructions

1- Pre-warm the Glass:

• Begin by filling a 5oz 150ml Irish Coffee glass with hot water to thoroughly warm it.
• Let it sit momentarily.

2- Prepare the Base:

• Dump out the hot water from the glass.
• Drop in the two C&H sugar cubes.
• Pour in 2.5 oz 75ml of hot Peerless coffee to fill the glass about 3/4 full.

3- Dissolve the Sugar:

• Using a long metal spoon, gently stir the coffee and sugar cubes.
• Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4- Add the Whiskey:

• Pour 1.33 oz 40ml of Tullamore Dew Blended Irish Whiskey into the coffee mixture.
• Stir gently to combine.

5- Layer the Cream:

• With a metal cream pitcher, take the slightly fluffed Glenview Farms Heavy Cream.
• Carefully pour it over the back of a spoon held just above the coffee's surface.
• This technique allows the cream to float elegantly on top, creating a striking layer.
