I made this drink from the Allrecipes UK site. It is the same submitter and recipe picture to. My review from this month: I thought the alcohol on this was rather strong. I cut the amount of whisky in half, but I could still taste it. I think I just prefer the Irish cream, just to taste, and as a flavoring like one would add flavored coffee cream. The whipped cream and chocolate or nutmeg on top were a nice touch. Next time, I will just do the Irish Cream as I have before. Thank you, anyway.

Great around the campfire......or anywhere......add a little cinnamon for a different taste. You can also use creme de cocoa...and for a sweeter taste......add amoretto or almond extract for an Italian taste.

The above isn't an authentic "irish coffee". Take away the liqueur but keep the whiskey. Add at least one tsp brown sugar. Whipped cream is a heresy, use unwhipped heavy double cream poured over the back of a spoon. Dump the nutmeg. I'm sure the above is a nice drink though ;)

Oh wow...THIS is how you spend a cold winter day at home, man! :) I LOVE whisky (or whiskey, whatever you prefer), so the alcohol mix in this recipe is PERFECT for me! Thank you for providing a reminder of a simple classic that is so delicious, you forget how easy it is to make!

Traditional Irish Coffee utilizes only the Irish whiskey and a little brown sugar to sweeten, but using Irish Cream liqueur is a nice touch! It's like a midway between an Irish Coffee and a B52, which uses 1/3 shot each of Khalua, Grand Marnier, and Irish Cream. Very tasty.

Oh YES! This is how I make my Irish coffees too and they are fabulous. The nutmeg is a nice idea. I will add that next time I make mine. Way to go, Jason!

I made this in clear, Irish coffee mugs and skipped the nutmeg. This was too strong, with a dominating taste of whiskey. The coffee almost seemed an afterthought. Reducing the amounts of whiskey and Bailey's by half would really improve this.
