You don’t need an excuse to drink coffee but sometimes it helps especially if you want to add a little whiskey. 

 Happy National Irish Coffee Day!!

What better way to shake off the January chill than a hot cup of Joe with a shot of whiskey and a layer of cream on top?

In a 12oz glass add 1 ½ oz. of Irish Whiskey

1 tsp. of Brown Sugar

9 oz. of hot Coffee and stir until sugar is dissolved

Pour 1 oz. of heavy whipping cream over top and enjoy !
