Best Irish Coffee

Cookie and Kate Best Irish Coffee
It’s cold outside. Let’s warm up with classic Irish coffees! I used to make Irish coffees during my bartending days, and thought it would be fun to revisit the recipe and make them from scratch.
Oftentimes in restaurants, Irish coffees are overwhelmingly sweet and rich. I love making them at home because you can make them exactly how you like them.
Plus, Irish coffees are so simple to make. You don’t need bartending experience or any special equipment to whip these up.

My favorite Irish coffees are made with freshly brewed coffee, high-quality Irish whiskey, and topped with real whipped cream, which you can make in about 10 minutes if you have the time. It is worth the effort.
My only twist on the classic recipe is to use real maple syrup instead of sugar. Natural maple syrup flavors play beautifully with coffee and whiskey, and it blends right in since it’s liquid. Easy!

How to Make Whipped Cream from Scratch
I wasn’t wild about whipped cream until I tried real whipped cream. Have you had it? I sure hope so. It puts Cool Whip and the canned stuff to shame.
Homemade whipped cream is ultra luxurious, decadent, and as delicious as the best vanilla ice cream. Real whipped cream doesn’t have any strange preservatives or additives, either.

Whipped cream is the perfect creamy topper for desserts and hot drinks. Since the holidays are here, I thought I’d share a tutorial with everything you need to know about making whipped cream.
If you’ve never made whipped cream before, it may seem a little intimidating at first, but I promise it’s so easy. You can make whipped cream in under 10 minutes!
