Here is a great coffee on days you have a sore throat, cold & a headache. I normally head to Cafe Coffee Day as there a lovely strong Irish Coffee that does much to soothe me. This had become my signature coffee for a while; only thing is since it is usually so hot here, I prefer a cold coffee. Specifically a mocha frappe which is oh so sinful and delicious.
- 4cl (2 parts) Irish Whiskey
- 8cl (4 parts) Hot coffee
- 3cl (1½ parts) Fresh cream
- 1tsp brown sugar
Preparation: Heat the coffee, whiskey and sugar. Do not boil. Pour into glass and top with cream. Serve hot.
Now actual Irish Coffee is supposed to contain alcohol, according to what I have read. And the classic Irish coffee is supposed to have hot black coffee, Irish Whiskey, sugar & a double dose of creame floating like a ‘head’ of beer on top. The image is supposed to resemble Guinness beer! However, there was no alcohol in mine, as we are at a family coffee shop chain. Anyhow, it is excellent and I aboslutely love it. I don’t think one needs to add much sugar, especially if you stir the cream into the coffee thoroughly. The effect is much like an exotic dancer enticing you with her many charms…..if you know what I mean. Can’t wait to have some more of it.
Song for the day – “Kiss My Irish Ass” – FRANK MACKEY & THE KELTIC COWBOYS
I could certainly go for a cup of that now. :D
Man, so could I. And I have had two big cups of coffee this morning to battle the beers I had last night.
kiss my irish ass is not a
great big sea song.
i wrote and recorded the song.
