how's the recovery going? :er:



(irish coffee is plain coffee with Bailey's (irish cream))

Irish coffee over here is black coffee with Irish whisky in it and a layer of cream floated on the top. There's a knack to getting the cream to stay on the top and not sink down.

I like the snapshot of you drinking the coffee Nice crop :thumbup:

This is the original Irish coffee recipe, invented by Joe Sheridan in 1942:

In a prewarmed glass (the sort you use for mulled wine, or hot toddies) add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, then add a measure of Irish whiskey (btw, Irish whiskey is spelt with the e, Scottish whisky is spelt without ). Stir till the sugar is dissolved, then add really hot, strong black coffee to about 1 cm of the rim. Pour double cream so that it floats on top, then drink the coffee through the cream without stirring.

My friend used to waitress in a posh restaurant and she taught me how to hold a teaspoon upside down just over the surface of the coffee and then pour the cream gently onto the spoon so that it slips from there onto the coffee. But, you can cheat and lightly whip the cream so that it is lighter and sits on top easier.

Works really well instead of regular coffee and mints after a meal
