How do prepare Irish coffee ?!
Answers: bonikingv
Ingredients:
4cl (2 parts) Irish Whiskey
8cl (4 parts) Hot coffee
3cl (1? parts) Fresh cream
1tsp brown sugar
Preparation
* Black coffee is poured into the mug.
* Whiskey and at least one level teaspoon of sugar is stirred in until fully dissolved. The sugar is essential for floating liquid cream on top.
* Thick cream is carefully poured over the back of a spoon initially held just above the surface of the coffee and gradually raised a little. The layer of cream will float on the coffee without mixing. The coffee is drunk through the layer of cream.
Hope this helps! =)
Make a normal cup of coffee....and then add a potato, sprinkle the top with some lucky charms.
normal coffee than read a few irish poems over it..
Irish coffee (Irish: Caife Gaelach) is a cocktail consisting of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar, stirred, then with thick cream floated on top. The coffee is drunk through the cream. The original recipe explicitly uses cream that has not been whipped, although whipped cream is often used. Irish coffee may be considered a variation on the hot toddy.
J G G has it absolutely right.
Whipped, or worse still cream from an aerosol can, should never, never ever be used for Irish Coffee - it ruins it completely.
Everyone does it their own way , but typically it contains some kind of irish whiskey (ie. jamesons, bushmills), irish creme liquer (ie. baileys...) , and cofffe. Then you can put whipped cream on top and drizzle it with some dark creme de menthe for looks. If you came to my bar and ordered it right now I would make it with 1 1/4 oz Jamesons, 3/4 oz baileys irish cream, fill mug with coffee, top with whipped cream and drizzle the cream de menthe.
Note : I have served this drink to hundreds of people, some want no baileys and some say no Irish whiskey, while others will say to hold the whipped cream. Its all depends on personal preference.
Over the years of bartending I'm sure I've made it ten different ways, and if I recall correclty, I think the original recipie only has coffee and whiskey. But, as does happen with many cocktails, a famous restaurant or bar will make their ownversion of the drink and then the public begins to expect 'that' recipie when they order the drink!
My best advice, try it with few ingredients and add more until you like it the most.
Firstly there never was an exact recipe until the 1970's before that if you said you made a tea or coffee Irish it meant adding some kind strong alcohol.
Good percolated coffee made black. Stir in some raw sugar or brown sugar. Then a good tasting Irish whiskey, Then a thick cream on top. Not whipped just normal cream like you used to get on full cream milk. Served in a coffee mug.
Personally I like to use a Bourbon and leave out the sugar and cream
