Irish Mocha with Coffee Liqueur Whipped Cream

This is not your typical Irish Coffee…it’s way better. This drink is perfect for the upcoming holidays and cold weather. Impress your friends and family or just make it for yourself. You deserve it.
For the coffee, I always try to use whole bean coffee and grind it at home. If you have ground coffee, that’s fine. I used a stovetop espresso maker but use whatever brewing method you prefer.
Since it’s an Irish coffee, it is alcoholic. You could make this non-alcoholic by just eliminating the coffee liqueur and whiskey but then it wouldn’t be an Irish coffee and why would you want to do that anyway?
Now, when to drink this? For morning coffee? For an afternoon cocktail? For evening dessert? Let me know what you think. Whenever you decide, you will enjoy!
Ingredients and Instructions
Coffee Liqueur Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whip with a hand mixer until stiff peaks are formed.

- 1/2 cup of espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 1 ounce of Irish whiskey

Pour whiskey into a mug.
When coffee is done, pour on top of whiskey.
Whisk milk mixture rapidly until you get some nice foam. Add milk to the coffee mug.
