Irish Coffee was created in the 1940s. I was told the original version was made with Irish Mist liqueur, although Irish Whiskey is more commonly used today. Why not try it both ways and do your own taste test?

How to make it
- In order to make this recipe properly the whiskey has to be heated to a high temperature.
- Pour the coffee in a cup with the desired number of sugar cubes.
- Then use a spoon turned upside down and pour the HOT whiskey over it so it flows down gently.
- Top it all with the whipped cream.
- When served, true Irish Coffee always has three distinct layers.
- You first use a straw and sip (a very small amount as it is HOT) a little of the Whiskey.
