Irish Coffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 double measure Irish whiskey (2 jiggers)
1 Tbsp. double cream
1 c. strong, hot black coffee
1 heaped tsp. sugar

Preparation

Warm a stemmed whiskey glass.
Put in the sugar and enough hot coffee to dissolve it.
Stir well.
Add Irish whiskey to fill within an inch of the brim.
Now for the tricky part:
Hold a teaspoon curved-side up across the glass and pour the cold cream slowly over the spoon.
Do not stir the cream into the coffee.
It should float on top and the hot whiskey-laced coffee is drunk through the cold cream.
Slainte!
