Combine the sugar and whisky. Heat in the microwave or in a saucepan.
Meanwhile, prepare the coffee (it should be at the same temperature as the sweetened whisky). Carefully pour the coffee into the glass containing the sugar and whisky mixture (for distinct layers, see observations).
Whip the cream to make whipped cream. It is IMPORTANT that the cream is 30% fat and very cold; otherwise, it won't gain volume. Place it on top of the coffee.
If you like, finish with chocolate shavings. It’s ready.

Observations

How to create distinct layers: Bend a small spoon to form a 90° angle. Then carefully pour the coffee over the whisky using the convex side of the spoon.

Whipped cream: Place the cream in the refrigerator along with the utensils you'll use to make the whipped cream.
