The Sheridan recipe
Heat a stemmed whiskey goblet.
Pour in one shot of Irish whiskey.
Add three sugars, preferably brown.
Fill with strong black coffee to within one inch of top. Stir gently.
Top off to the brim with heavy cream slightly aerated.
Important: Do not stir after adding cream, as the true flavor is obtained by drinking the coffee and whiskey through the cream.
Note: Untreated cream without additives will give the best resuts.
