After dinner, after hours, or even after a long St. Patrick's Day, Irish coffee is the one delicious pick-me-up you won't find at your local coffeehouse.

To complete this How-To you will need:

1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey
6 oz. hot coffee
2 tsp. brown sugar
Whipped cream
A stemmed glass coffee mug or a regular coffee mug
A spoon
A measuring jigger

Step 1: Warm glass or mug

Run hot water slowly over the glass or mug until it's at room temperature, or warmer, and dry it.

Warning: Pouring hot coffee into a cold glass could cause the glass to crack.

Step 2: Add brown sugar

Add brown sugar.

Step 3: Pour whiskey & coffee

Pour in the whiskey and hot coffee, leaving a bit of room at the top for whipped cream.

Tip: For a cold version of this, chill sweetened coffee before adding the whiskey, or freeze some in an ice cube tray.

Step 4: Stir well

Stir well, until the sugar to dissolves completely.

Step 5: Add whipped cream

Squirt or spoon a dollop of whipped cream so it simply sets on top of the drink.

Step 6: Do not stir

Do not stir—not only does the hot drink taste better sipped through the cream, it stays warmer longer with the cream on top.
