  • In a small saucepan, heat the Tennessee whiskey over low heat. This gentle warming process will help mellow the whiskey's harshness and enhance its flavor. Don't let it come to a boil.

  • In the same saucepan you used for the whiskey (no need to wash it), heat the heavy cream over low heat until it's warm but not boiling. Warming the cream will prevent it from curdling when added to the coffee.

  • Pour the warmed heavy cream over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the coffee. The cream should sit gracefully on the coffee's surface, creating a beautiful layered effect.
