Bushmills Irish Coffee
Ingredients
Serves 1
1 measure of Bushmills Original Irish Whiskey
2 teaspoons demerara sugar
strong black coffee
Extra Thick Whipping cream
Warm Glass
Method

Empty out hot water.
Add measure of Bushmills Irish Whiskey.
Add sugar & stir
Add strong black coffee - til about ¾ full
Pour the whipping cream over the back of a warm teaspoon (teaspoon should be just above the level of the coffee)
This ensures that the cream floats on the coffee!
To gain the best enjoyment from your Bushmills Irish Coffee the cream should not be stirred into the coffee but should be suspended on the top of it.
The coffee should then be sipped through the creamy head! Slainte to you and yours! And if you're looking for a full St. Paddy's Day menu to accompany that coffee, click here and enjoy.
