The following recipe is inspired by the Buena Vista Irish Coffee service in San Francisco. As Mr. Muldoon so eloquently put it, “This is not stupid Irish coffee.” No cans of commercial whipped cream, no candy sprinkles and no green food coloring.
Irish Coffee
2 ounces Bushmills Irish Whiskey
¾ ounce molasses syrup (made 1:1, molasses with water)
4 ounces strong black coffee
Freshly whipped cream
Freshly ground nutmeg
Layer whiskey, syrup and coffee in a pre-warmed toddy glass. Mr. Muldoon says to not go nuts with the whipped cream — just add about a thumb-thick cream float on top. Garnish with freshly ground nutmeg.
