For an extra touch, consider using demerara sugar for rimming the glass to add a hint of caramel flavor. The quality of the coffee and whiskey greatly impacts the final taste, so choose wisely. Do not stir the cream into the coffee; the contrast of textures and temperatures is part of the experience.
