This yummy number will warm you up during the cold nights ahead and fill you with joy.It doesn't matter if you're Irish or not, this beverage is not one to pass up. Share this cocktail with friends at your next event!Another exciting event that is happening this weekend is that our very own Design Maven| Dani Alvarado is getting married to a very LUCKY guy. Congrats to the happy couple and cheers to the weekend!Here's an Irish toast to you all: May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces Irish whiskey
• 5 to 6 ounces coffee
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• heavy cream

Instructions

Pour the whiskey, coffee, and sugar* into a stemmed, heated glass mug. Stir, then top off with a thick layer of lightly whipped heavy cream. If too lazy or inebriated or depressed to bother whipping the stuff, just pour an ounce or two in over the back of a spoon. In either case, don't stir it in, and really don't drizzle crème de menthe over the top. Now you have your very own Irish Coffee.Source: EsquireThis Irish Coffee cocktail idea was brought to youby The Simplifiers - Austin’s top event planning and personal concierge firm, offering full service wedding planning for luxurious events, dreamy events, quirky events and everything else in between.
