ORIGINAL IRISH COFFEE
If Irish Coffee is your preference, Ray Foley recommends only the original Irish recipe: 

Into a stemmed glass, 
put two (2) teaspoonfuls of sugar, preferably brown; 
add one-third (1/3) Irish Whiskey and 
two-thirds (2/3) really hot, really strong black coffee, preferably freshly brewed, not instant.

The glass should be filled with this mixture to within half an inch (1cm) of the brim. 
Stir well at this point to ensure all of the sugar is dissolved, and 
then carefully float over the back of a spoon a collar of lightly-whipped cream,
so that the cream floats on the top of the coffee and whiskey.

Do not stir any more. 
Serve the drink without a spoon or a straw, 
as part of the pleasure comes from sipping the hot coffee and whiskey through the cool cream.
