The Irish Coffee was first created in the 1940s at the Foynes Airbase in Ireland to warm up travelers. This version brings a modern twist with spices and honey, staying true to its comforting roots.
1. Brew 6 oz of your favorite coffee.
2. In a heatproof glass, mix the Irish whiskey, honey, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
3. Pour the hot coffee over the whiskey mixture and stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
5. Gently float the whipped cream on top of the coffee by pouring it over the back of a spoon.
6. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.
Store leftover coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Whipped cream should be stored separately.
