Instructions

Pour cream into a mason jar and tighten the lid. Shake vigorously for 2- 3 minutes until thickened and foamy, but still pourable. Keep cold in the refrigerator.
Combine whiskey, Amaretto (if using) and simple syrup in a mug or heat-proof glass. Pour hot coffee over top and stir to combine. Spoon about 1/2-inch of thickened cream on top (you won't need all of it) and serve immediately.
