Put two teaspoonfuls of sugar (preferably brown) into a stemmed glass. Add 1/3 Irish
whiskey and 2/3 really hot strong black coffee. The glass should be filled within half
an inch of the brim. Stir well to ensure that all the sugar is dissolved. Then
carefully float over the back of a spoon a collar of lightly whipped cream.

Part of the pleasure comes from sipping the hot coffee and whiskey through the cool
cream.
