At what stage shall I add whisky for Irish coffee?
When preparing Irish coffee in a saucepan (caramelizing sugar&coffee, then adding water);
Should I add the whisky while coffee is still being heated in the saucepan or after putting the coffee in glasses?
Best Answer

Darryl’s Irish Coffee
Makes 4-6 small rocks glass servings
Total time to prep: 10 minutes
Supplies:
- Bodum 8-C French Press
- Water kettle with water just off boil at 205F.
- 1/2-cup of fresh ground French Roast coffee ground very coarse
- Mixing bowl that you have put in the freezer
- Wire whisk
- 1-cup of heavy cream
- 1-teaspoon powdered sugar
- 1/2-cup Jameson Irish Whiskey
- 4-6 each 6-oz Gibraltar rocks glasses
Process:
- Bring water to boil and then turn off the heat to allow it to cool to 205F.
- Add ground coffee and water to the French press. While the coffee is steeping, move on to making the spiked whipping cream.
- Take mixing bowl out of the freezer. Pour in the cream, powdered sugar, and whisk until it becomes soft whipped cream—do not over whip.
