A Shot in Ireland is a standard spirt measurement of 1/4 Gill or 1.2 Oz / 35.5 ml. There is also a benefit of heating the spoon so the cream slides of better and less likely to mix especially if the cream is cold from the fridge.

Almost perfect ha, see how she had a lump of brown sugar when she poured the coffee... The trick is after you pour the sugar into the glass, add a dash of boiled water to start melting it, then then shot of whiskey and mix, BEFORE pouring the coffee... The rest of the steps are correct and also if the cream is already whipped, leave in the fridge until needed to it sets on top
@arnarne you're not diluting it, it's literally like a splash of boiling water to mix the sugar haha 🤣, it basically becomes sugar syrup. At best, it is probably diluting it from 40% to 38%, it's not noticeable, it's how to make the Irish coffee look like an Irish coffee and not have lumps in it.
@@nevermind4679 if you were making like 10 Irish coffees then yeah maybe add 10 spoons of sugar and 10 splashes of water, but it's much of a muchness, because there's no milk in the coffee you need the brown sugar syrup before the whiskey to offset the bitter coffee. I have made many Irish coffees and am from Dublin, it's not as complicated as it looks if you're prepared with cream already whipped in the fridge and the sugar melted in the already boiling glass, that's half the battle.
