Recipe Story

From what I have heard it was first made in the 1940s for the transatlantic travelers, to keep them warm.A writer from the San Fransisco Chronicle claims to have brought it to America. Although this beverage can be served without sugar, the cream will not float on top of the coffee in the traditional manner. As for me I have always mixed Bailey's Irish cream with traditional black coffee to make Irish coffee. Who knew this recipe existed.

Ingredients

 
8 oz heavy cream
 
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
 
6 cups strong, hot black coffee
 
3/4 cup Irish whiskey

Directions

Use an electric mixer to beat the cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form.
Set aside.
Combine remaining sugar, coffee and whiskey.
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream.
Serve immediately.
