Start by brewing a fresh cup of coffee (approximately 8 oz) using your preferred method. Keep it hot.
In a heat-safe mug, combine the Irish cream liqueur (2 oz) and Irish whiskey (1 oz).
If desired, add 1 tsp of granulated sugar to the mug for extra sweetness and stir until dissolved.
Pour the hot coffee over the liqueur and whiskey mixture, filling the mug nearly to the top and leaving room for garnish.
Top the drink with 2 tbsp of whipped cream, allowing it to float gently on the surface.
Sprinkle grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder (approximately 0.5 tsp) over the whipped cream for a finishing touch, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, velvety Hot Irish Kiss!
