Ingredients

2 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided

1 1/2 ounces Bushmill's Irish whiskey

5 ounces high-quality hot black coffee, made very strong and hot

heavy cream

freshly whipped whipping cream sweetened with sugar and pure vanilla to taste

Directions

Heat a stemmed glass by filling it with hot water; set aside.

Place 1 teaspoon of the sugar into a small, shallow dish.

Drain the heated glass, then dry it thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth towel or paper towel. Wet only the rim of the glass with water.

Dip the moistened rim of the glass into the sugar to coat the rim.

Carefully add the remaining sugar to the glass (making sure to not rinse off the sugar on the rim), followed by the whiskey.

Add the coffee, leaving room for the cream. Stir thoroughly and let settle, then pour the cream over the back of a spoon onto the mixture so it just floats.

Finish with a dollop of freshly-whipped whipped cream and enjoy! Let the lucky recipient of the Blessing stir in the cream to his/her taste.

Note: do NOT stint on the quality of your coffee! Use your favorite, high-quality, freshly-ground beans to make the coffee.

Makes 1 serving.

Just made a pot of coffee (I am real picky about my caffeine) and stumbled on this. Didn't have Bushmills so I used Irish Mist. WOW! Not going to get much snooze tonight but am getting another one of these! My neighbor is on the way over to try it. We've had a loooong week. Thanks Pops!

OK so it's Friday morning and 2 was my limit last night. An unexpected day off and I slept like a baby. Boy those are great! A copy now adorns my cupboard cabinet. Gonna try the original recipe with Bushmills this weekend. Thanks! Have a great weekend!
