If you're looking for a mid-day warm up that gets you ready to go back out there and face the cold, nothing is easier than brewing a cup of coffee and adding your favorite dark spirit.

The Irish had the right idea when they combined robust Irish whiskey with hot, black coffee. This hot cocktail has long been a favorite in Irish pubs, with a popularity that could be said to rival Guinness (as tough as that may be). Beyond choosing the best Irish whiskey possible, using fresh whipped cream can turn the mundane Irish Coffee into something spectacular. 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 oz strong, hot coffee
• 1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 oz whipping cream

Preparation:

1. Pour the coffee, Irish whiskey and brown sugar into an Irish coffee glass or mug.
2. Stir well.
3. Float the cream on top.
