Nespresso Irish Coffee
The classic Irish Coffee is one of those cocktails that has so few ingredients, really nailing it is a study in (1) quality and (2) balance. Though blissfully simple to make -- simply stir whiskey, coffee, and sugar together, then top with whipped cream -- the devil is really in the details.

Ingredients
- 1 lungo Nespresso pod
- 2 demerara sugar cubes (or two packs sugar in the raw)
- 1 oz Irish whiskey
- heavy whipping cream to top
Instructions
- Combine the lungo Nespresso, sugar, and whiskey in a mug that tapers outward (like a teacup or traditional Irish coffee mug), and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Lightly whip the heavy whipping cream (about 1 oz per drink) by adding a spring to a cocktail shaker (like the spring from a Hawthorne strainer) and shaking it with the cream for twenty seconds. Float it in a layer over the coffee by pouring it carefully over the back of a spoon.
