Warm a heatproof highball glass with hot water, then discard the water so the drink keeps its heat.

Add the brown sugar and Irish whiskey to the warm glass.
- 03
Pour in freshly brewed hot coffee, leaving about 2 cm of space at the rim, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- 04
Lightly whip or shake the cream just until it thickens slightly but still pours easily.
- 05
Hold a spoon over the coffee and slowly pour the cream across the back of the spoon to make a distinct floating layer; drink through the cream.
