"Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat."  -- Alex Levine

1	tsp.	sugar (raw sugar is better)
2	tbsp.	whipped cream
		enough hot coffee to fill the glass

Pre-warm a stemmed glass.

Float the whipped cream on top.

Drink the coffee through the cream (i.e. do not stir after adding the cream).
