The absolutely perfect recipe for Irish coffee

Yummy will try.

Aye, it's a good basic recipe, and as far as I know, the story is true. I've drunk Irish coffee at the Buena Vista Cafe myself. But, I learned an excellent improvement from a bartender in Montreal -- flaming Irish Coffee -- I don't recall the place or the name, so you can just call it Paddy Mac's Special Irish coffee -- start with a large glass shaped like a red wine or large white wine glass, one that can withstand the heat (don't use your wife's Waterford crystal!); then coat the rim with lemon juice; then dip the rim in white refined sugar; then pour the Jameson's in the glass; then get out some Sterno and light it; holding the glass at a 45 degree angle, move the bowl of the glass over the flaming Sterno, and slowly rotate the bowl of the glass by the stem with your fingers, being careful to not spill the whiskey into the flame; after a few minutes, carefully tip the edge of the glass toward the flame, until the flame jumps inside the glass, and burns with a light blue flame; pour the hot coffee in, add the brown sugar and stir, add the whipped cream, then add a touch of green Creme de Menthe, and a Maraschino cherry on top; and oh, turn down the lights while you are doing this and make sure your friends watch! Most bartenders will probably tell you it can't be done with Irish whiskey, unlike brandy and other liquors, but I've told you the secret, that was told to me in Montreal, and I've never seen anyone else do it. It's wonderful, and can't fail to impress your friends -- particularly if you do spill the whiskey into the flame, or the glass breaks -- so try it at your own risk, as they say. Paddy Mac

Am going to try this as it sounds delicious.
