Irish Coffee

"The best Irish Coffee recipe ever. Resist the temptation to stir the cream into the coffee. It really must float to enjoy the taste. The Irish Mist cordial liquor is very smooth unlike Irish Whiskey."

  1. Turn the spoon over and place the tip of the spoon against the edge of the glass, pour the cream over the bottom of the spoon so the cream 'flows' across the top of the coffee.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Update: My mother, BoxO'Wine passed away on April 23, 2009 after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a wonderful cook and is greatly missed. I am the DD that she has mentioned here quite frequently and have decided to continue her account. I also use RecipeZaar quite frequently as I learned about it from her. I strive to make her recipes; however, they will never be the same. I am also leaving all her own biographical information in here that she had. Genuine Jersey Girl here. Lived here all my life with the exception of a short stint in the Bay Area/San Francisco. Married to the same guy for over 40 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My son lives in Georgia (he talks funny) and my two daughters live near me in New Jersey. I am a retired politician, but I still have a real job. Looking forward to full retirement in about 2 yrs or so and if my children don't force me into the "home" I will be spending my social security checks in Atlantic City casinos. I have chemically enhanced blonde hair which is currently spiked to match my weird sense of humor and beverage du jour. Obviously I am a wino. White please, preferably chardonnay.
