There is a much better recipe for Irish Coffee that actually comes from Dublin. And here it is:
In a container with a tight lid add:
1 cup dark brown sugar
1-2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon, gound nutmeg, ground cloves. Mix well. Start with small doses of the spices until you get the proportions that suit you best. To make the Irish Coffee:
While the coffee brews take a couple of heaping spoonfuls of the sugar/spice mix and place in each mug. Pour a couple of fingers of Irish whiskey on top and stir, ourin fresh, hot coffee and top with whipped cream
