INGREDIENTS:
4 oz hot coffee
2 oz Irish whiskey
2 oz heavy cream
1 tsp dark brown sugar or demerara syrup
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat treat the glass with hot water. This is simply adding hot water to the cocktail glass so that it does not leach heat from the cocktail.
2. Prepare your hot coffee.
3. Whip some heavy cream so that it begins to thicken - to the point where it can stay as a drop on your finger. We don't want whipped cream, but we also dont want straight cream - we want somewhere in between.
4. Empty the hot water from the glass.
5. Add the sugar or syrup to the glass and add about an ounce of hot coffee. Then, using a bar spoon, stir until the sugar has dissolved into the coffee.
6. Add the whiskey.
7. Continue to add coffee until you have a gap about an 1/2.5 cm from the top, stirring as you go.
8. Add the cream to the top by means of a squeeze bottle, or by pouring it over the back of a spoon so that it slowly pours into the top of the cocktail.
9. Serve and enjoy!

This is amazing! The first irish coffee recipe that I watched from start to finish!

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Haha thanks! Glad it was interesting!

Love how straight forward this is. Just the right amount of fluff, while also being informative of the actual recipe.

[@newblocksdui]

this is my new favourite channel this is so weirdly fascinating to watch

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Thanks!

[@ataxexe]

Simply the most entertaining recipe ever. I moved to Denmark from Brazil and here I can't make our great Caipirinha but the Irish Coffee became my favorite drink in this part of the world. After watching this video 5 times (not because the recipe is hard but because the video is great) I think I might be able to give it a try at home. Thanks for making this awesome video. I subscribed immediately after watching the first time.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Thanks! There's no reason you shouldnt be able to make it at home! And there are tons of great coffee beans in S. America that you can use for the coffee!

[@drunkr2d283]

Its so pleasant to watch him making it while listening to the narrator.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Thanks! 😊

[@Drainoboy1974]

i came upon your channel only 2 days into the 2020 year. I can already tell this will be one of the best decisions i will have made all year.

I tried Irish Coffee recently and I'm in love with it. So landed here for the recipe, with my kids. Unbelievable my kids enjoyed the video and watching all your videos in ROW ☺

[@BlackTieKitchen]

😂😂

[@jerryparker8068]

After following this video I can now make the perfect Irish coffee although I did use a mini whisk to thicken the cream, thanks for sharing.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Awesome Jerry! Glad I could help with the skill building 😄

[@Redshoes531]

Hats off to you! Traditionally, we pour the cream over the back of a tsp, but that takes practice!! Would try your method, especially as this is a traditional Christmas drink to share with guests. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Yeah, thats a much more difficult technique!

[@TexasChilliMassacre]

Reminds me of my childhood.In the 70's ghis was very popular here in germany.

[@foxdeleon]

Guy from the Philippines 🇵🇭 is about to enjoy Irish 🇮🇪 coffee!

[@Salvo78106]

Unfortunately i had no irish whiskey so i tried with a generic good quality but strong one and it was too strong and too much as a woody taste. So i tried again with a ligther and sweeter one with 30-35ml of it and it was amazing. Nice contrast between hot and cold, perfect for cold days (even if I'm in Sicily, lol). Nice video

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Yup, the contrast is really good! As you said, you definitely dont want a whiskey that's overproof, heavy oak taste, and definitely not heavy peat. The Irish whiskys tend to hit find the right balance between the flavor profiles. But a whiskey like Four Roses works well too

[@cmonkey63]

Captain Obvious here. I just realised that the finished coffee looks just like a mini pint of Guiness. Not so obvious the first time I made this, in a huge black mug with the dimensions closer to a bucket. I remember sleeping well that night.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

A bucket sized Irish coffee 🤔 Sounds like a haymaker

[@ydf2008]

Can't wait to make this! Thanks for the brief recipe and entertainment.

[@shikhasharma5764]

I’m from India and I really love the way u made this coffee I will try for sure 👍

[@sarahwilloughby2509]

Brilliant. Elegant. The cocktail looks great, too! I really want to try this warm and comforting beverage this holiday season, IF the temperature ever gets lower than 70f this winter in Texas.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Haha I hear ya. Here in Florida it was 50 last night... 78° right now. Just have to drop the AC and pretend it's cold out 😂

[@BlackTieKitchen]

You can use regular another whiskey or bourbon, but Irish whisky tends to be rather mellow and therefore doesnt overpower the coffee!
