Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cooled coffee, milk, egg, Irish whiskey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, lightly dust the muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
