I hated it.Never make this recipe. Anshul Bhowmik 2014-12-15T13:08:10Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
Very good AND fairly easy. I used a little less (raw) sugar. Reading through the comments was helpful...great tips...especially about how much to whip the cream. We've had a hard time finding a restaurant that does it right. I got it the first time with this recipe and the tips from others. It looks like it should look like a Guiness with a good head of foam.

i've made this recipe probably a dozen times and i have to say, the biggest variant is the coffee beans used, the method and of course just make sure you have brown sugar.  Honestly i haven't played around with the type of whiskey so much, but from what i gather it could be another variable to making the perfect irish coffee.  Like others have said make sure the cream is only slightly whipped, too much and it just sits as a blob atop the drink, preventing any liquid from passing through it. You know you have whipped it right, if over time it slowly starts incorporating with the drink. Jay O'Connor 2014-02-08T18:30:07Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
I filled up a 1 oz shot glass to the brim with Jamesons (luckily, i had just purchased some heavy cream) and it was delicious.  I had two cups Christmas morning.  Oh, and I added, just the slightest drop of Peppermint extract. anne424 2013-12-26T03:20:50Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
This is the real deal as served at (with slight variations which I will mention) Tom Bergin's in Los Angels and the Golden Gate in San Francisco, two of the several places which claim to have originated the drink.    The key, as explained to me by an old bartender at Tom Bergin's many years ago is slightly -- not fully -- whipped cream.  Whip it until it just begins to thicken, that's all.  Fully whipped cream is not correct and really changes the drink for the worse.  Whipped cream from a can is -- well, any port in a storm I guess, if that's all you have.    Tom Bergin's made the drink with two teaspoons of white sugar.  A tablespoon is really excessive -- both two teaspoons and one tablespoon (as specified here) create a tooth-rattlingly sweet drink.  My preference is for a level teaspoon, but you should sweeten to taste.  White/brown/turbinado, any sugar will do and doesn't make too much difference to the drink.  The important thing is to start with good coffee! Jenni Mitten 2013-11-19T05:05:24Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
Similar to variations of Margaritas or Sangria...this recipe for Irish coffee is delicious.  We had a brunch and featured 3 well known Irish coffees.  This recipe was the winner.  Enjoy! Annie, Fremont, CA annie r. 2013-07-14T19:26:38Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
So good and so easy.  Even better than what I have had at restaurants.  Erin go bragh! Big Sky Chick 2013-03-17T21:49:18Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
My personal variation uses demerara sugar instead of brown sugar. And it is really good. Shadowbird712 2013-03-17T12:19:13Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
Fantastic!  After going to Ireland the one thing I noticed was the use of raw sugar not brown sugar in the coffee. However the did call it brown sugar. Highly recommend going to Ireland to have one, or two ;. Wonderful!!! FRLFCLVR 2012-07-08T19:51:04Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
My first experience with a real Irish Coffee.  One sip and I was hooked.  Great flavor and contrast in this drink.  Thank you! Darrell O. 2012-03-16T21:36:07Z item not reviewed by moderator and published

Great balance of flavors. TravelerTrish 2010-12-25T14:07:34Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
This is my favorite alcoholic drink.  Perfect for after a long workout or run.  Heating the spoon helps a little for floating the heavy cream. Eric M. 2008-04-07T11:22:40Z item not reviewed by moderator and published
This is the best recipe for this drink! Each ingredient is key to this subtle, sweet and warm drink. Brown sugar provides a depth of flavor. My whiskey of choice is Tullamore Dew - smokey, sweet flavor. Real cream is a must - sipping this delicious drink through the cream - yum!!!
