Perfect at the end of a meal, or to wrap your hands around when you’re outside as evening cools down, the best Irish coffee uses proper coffee (not instant!), and really good Irish whiskey. If you’re up for whipping cream, add an extra splash of whiskey as you whip – otherwise the squirty stuff is great!
