Irish Coffee

Put your Irish Whiskey in a sealed container and place it in a glass/bowl of hot water. Once warmed, pour the whiskey and sugar into a glass/mug and stir. Then add your coffee, leave about half an inch or of space at the top of your glass/mug. Gently pour the cream onto the top of the mixture. Do not stir!!

Sprinkle grated chocolate if desired.
