Classic Jameson Irish Coffee Ingredients

This is one of our favorite boozy coffee drinks to enjoy on chilly nights, a cold winter’s evening, or during a winter storm. It is easy to make with only three simple ingredients. Or four if you add sweetener. We feel there is no need to complicate an already perfect Irish coffee. It is one of those hot drinks that warms you up from the core. This is all you need to make a true Irish coffee:

• 1 1/2 oz Jameson Classic Irish Whiskey
• strong coffee
• whipped heavy cream
• optional sweetener –  2 tsp brown sugar

How to Make an Authentic Irish Coffee

First, start by pouring hot water into a footed glass mug or your Irish coffee mugs. Whichever, you choose to use. Let it sit to warm the glass and then pour the water out. This will help ensure that your warm drink will remain warm. 

Then grab a bottle of Jameson Irish whiskey. Using a cocktail jigger, measure out Jameson. 

Pour the Jameson into the warm glass. 

If you are opting for a sweetener you can add it now. 2 tsp brown sugar is the most popular option, but you can also use maple syrup, or simple syrup to sweeten your Jameson Irish coffee. Then add the hot coffee to the glass mug. 

Do not fill the coffee up to the top of the mug. Leave a small amount of room for the cream. 

Then add the cream to the top of the coffee. Most opt for whipped double cream over the back of a spoon to help the cream float. Or you can also use lightly whipped cream if you’d like.

If you do not have a cocktail jigger, you can simply make a cup of coffee and add a little drop of Jameson Irish whiskey. It is that easy. And if you don’t have Jameson, you can use your favorite Irish whiskey. That would change this to an Irish coffee recipe and not a Jameson Irish coffee recipe, but you get the idea.
