The best Irish coffee ever!

Sounds fabulous , except for the Kahlua !

Sorry, the best Irish coffee? 1/2 Table brown sugar (plain OK) 1.5 oz Irish Whiskey.Or to taste. Muddle. Pour strong coffee in glass to mix itself. Float fresh (NOT canned!)cream (whip if necessary)on top. -Old Irish Bartender.

sounds yummy!!!!!

very complicated recipe for what should be a simple treat. Try this -- Cup of strong coffee,sugar to taste,whiskey , you decide amount,(rum also quite good) good quality vanilla ice cream,you decide amount, put it any container that doesn't leak,don't worry about anything sinking, drink.Say aaah.

Any thoughts on what I found to be the sad state of affairs at Dublin Airport a year ago November--When we asked for Irish coffee at departure bar, were told there was no cream!!The bartender went searching for some, but it really was a sad result!! I used to have super onesat Shannon in years past, but have heard it is no better there now--

Sad that I don't have an espresso coffee maker.

Sounds good, but give me a cuppa IRISH coffee!

Sounds like it would good, but it's no more an Irish Coffee than a cup of coffee with that Irish Creme coffee creamer in it!

Kahlua??!!??? And you still call this Irish Coffee???

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT RECIPES ! I HAVE PRINTED THEM OUT AND WILL SHARE THEM ON FB W/ MY FRIENDS

My mother and I just loved the Irish coffee while we were visiting in Ireland! The problem is, we don't have the same type of cream in the United States. Whipping cream/heavy cream is just not quite the same as the yellowish, softer cream in Ireland. :(

oh YEAH !!!!!

And to think that the original Irish Coffee was invented by a Chef at Foynes, County Limerick, as a pick-me-up for passengers arriving on the transatlantic flying boats, prior to the development of pressurised aeroplanes, in the 1940's. Is no tradition (even if only 60 years old) sacred these days?

And to think that the Irish Coffee was invented by a chef at Foynes, County Limerick, as a pick-me-up for passengers arriving on the transatlantic flying boats, before the development of pressurised aeroplanes, in the 1940's. So much for the traditional shot of whiskey, spoon of brown sugar, spoon of coffee grounds, boiled water, topped off with cream! Is no tradition (even only 60 years old) sacred?

Does the alcohol get cooked out?
