Luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all! Join me in celebrating my Irish heritage with this classic cocktail:

Irish Coffee
8 tsp. sugar
1/2 cup whiskey
2 cups hot brewed coffee
1/2 cup heavy cream

Beat heavy cream to form soft peaks. Place 2 tsp. sugar in each of 4 mugs. Add 2 Tbsp. whiskey to each mug. Fill each mug almost to the top with coffee. Using a spoon, float cream on top of the coffee.

"May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,
May your heart be light as a song,
May each day bring you bright, happy hours,
That stay with you all the year long."
-Irish Blessing
