Recipe

  • 3/4 ounce Baileys
  • 3/4 ounce Frangelico
  • 5 ounces hot black coffee
  • 1 1/2 ounces whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Pour the coffee into an Irish coffee cup with the liqueurs. Add sugar to taste (hint: less sugar-obsessed palettes may not want any). Float the whipped cream on top and serve. You can garnish this drink with a sprinkle of nutmeg, cinnamon or chopped hazelnuts on top.
