Irish coffee is an exercise in simplicity. Too much fuss and it loses its character.
You want a strong punch of coffee, a lingering warmth from the Irish whiskey, a touch of sweetness, and some cream to bring it all together.
Keeping this desire for simplicity in mind, one change that I’ve made to make my Irish coffee special is to use brown sugar in place of white. Its musky, molasses-y flavor bolsters the coffee and lends the whiskey a bit more heft.
Simple to make, but the result is anything but.
Resist the temptation to add coffee liqueurs such as Irish cream since, ultimately, that’s all you will taste.
