Irish Coffee
Every year around this time I am reminded of this “perfect” way to end a dinner meal or just a casual gathering to enjoy the spring air. I am a bit of a purist on this issue and have tried over the years to get passed the overall sweetness usually associated with Irish Coffee; what with the whipped cream and sugar added to the coffee, not to mention the overly sweet Irish Mist. You see, I take my coffee black, no sugar… so just give me a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey and let me dump it into my coffee.
This recipe is like the porridge in the Three Bears story; just right. Start with strong black coffee, add just a touch of sugar and then add the Jameson with just a little unsweetened, thickened cream on top. Sit on the deck or patio, throw your feet up and enjoy the sunset; maybe a leprechaun or two will stop by to help you pass the time.
