brands I used:
- coffee- Red Bay Coffee Brazilian Cake Lady
- Irish Whiskey- Tullimore Dew- It’s what they used at the Buena Vista!
- cream- Because there are only a few ingredients, I like to use a really good quality cream so I used Straus Creamery cream, it’s super rich.
Instructions
- Brew coffee.
- Temper glasses by adding hot water to the glass to heat it.
- Add 1 cup heavy cream to a container with vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds. With a milk frother or whisk, while until until heavily whipped. This will make enough whip cream for a few Irish Coffees
- Dump glass of hot water. Add coffee to the glass.
- Stir in the Demerara sugar.

- Sprinkle white sugar into the center of the whipped cream.
- Working quickly, torch the sugar until it caramelizes.

Notes
- Be cautious with the kitchen torch. Be sure not to touch the glass edge with the torch flame, it can make the glass very hot to sip.
- Demerara sugar adds a great flavor to an Irish Coffee, but you can also use tubinado, brown sugar or white sugar.
