First off: Bailys and Coffee is not irish coffee. The recipe I like is this: 2 ounces Jamison Irish Whiskey, 6 ounces strong black coffee, and unsweetened cold whipped heavy cream. Serve it in a glass mug. Whiskey, coffee topped with cream.
second the jameson. when i made it in australia we added baileys as well, but there was definitely jameson in it. i think we did a double americano in a 12 oz mug on top of an ounce of jameson, an ounce of baileys, and some simple syrup and steamed half and half or heavy cream?

anyways, coffee in good spirits is fun. good luck!
well every coffeeshop has its own but this is how i do it here in uganda, ashot of espresso,a aspoon of sugar syrup[tea spoon],and then one shot of whiskey,whipped cream like three spoons teaspoon.For anice presentation you can serve it in alatte glass.
People thanks for the tips, there been great.
So... is there a way to make a faux Irish Coffee?
I have the glass footed mug, the coffee and the whipped cream (fresh no sugar)
Can I use Irish Cream syrup by Monin?
We don't have a liqueur license. What else can give the flavor needed that will at least give the impression of the whiskey aspect?
SO... I guess no one knows how to do a faux Irish Coffee? March is just around the corner and we still do not have an 'Irish Coffee' I guess you just can't fake an Irish Coffee.

I should mention when I did the Irish event I brought a mixer and heavy whipping cream along with green food coloring.

There is a pic of the irish coffee on another post

hey guys,
Im from Cork in Ireland, and am working as a Barista in a really busy bar and cafe in the city centre. I make soo many Irish coffees every day and Eric (first post) is right but don't forget you have to add 2 spoons of brown sugar in there too. Whisky first, 2 sugars and coffee stirred well and the cream has to sit on top without mixing so it looks like a pint of Guinness. Top with a couple of coffee beans :) You cant really do a faux irish coffee, as there really isnt a good substitute for whisky. The irish cream flavourings taste like Baileys which isn't right at all!
Hope this helps, even though I just realised the originial post dates back to ages ago!
Happy St Patricks Day too ! xx

We now have a 'Beer Permit' and the code states that any alcoholic beverage that is 5% or less, regardless of grain it is from, qualifies for the Beer permit. So what is the percentage of alcohol in an Irish Coffee when properly made?

Depends on your state's laws. I know in Texas(which has admittedly strict laws), if you have liquor anywhere on the premises but are only licensed for beer and wine, you get your license pulled and a ridiculous($10,000+) fine.

 

Soo you might want to make sure it is product being served and not inventory that must be under 5% before bringing anything on the premises.
