  1. Brew strong coffee using a coffee maker or French press.

  4. Measure out the Irish whiskey and pour it into the coffee mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it thickens but remains pourable.
  6. Carefully spoon the whipped cream over the back of a spoon to create a layer on top of the coffee.
