I dig Irish Coffee any day of the year, but I definitely can not go with out it on St. Patrick's Day. Below is an Irish Coffee recipe, from my favorite cocktail book, Hip Sips by Lucy Brennan. Lucy Brennan is the owner of Mint and 820, a Portland, Oregon restaurant and adjacent bar. They have the most delish, unique drinks and a fabulous modern atmosphere. Cheers!!
Irish Coffee
1 sugar cube
2 ounces Bushmills Irish Whiskey
3 ounces strong hot coffee
2 Tablespoons Vanilla Whipped Cream for garnish
Fill a footed coffee mug with hot water and let the glass heat throughly. Pour out the hot water and put the sugar cube in the glass. Add the Bushmills and coffee. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the drink. Serve at once.
Vanilla Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy(whipping) cream
1/4 ounces Monin Vanilla Syrup
In a chilled stainless-steel bowl, beat the cram with an electric mixer on high speed. As the cream begins to thicken, gradually add the vanilla syrup and beat until soft peaks form.
Makes 2 cups
