Irish Coffee

The Irish Coffee is a warm and comforting classic that expertly combines two beloved beverages: coffee and Irish whiskey.

Typically made with hot coffee, a generous pour of Irish whiskey, a touch of brown sugar, and a dollop of freshly whipped cream, this drink offers a delightful contrast of flavours and temperatures.

The coffee provides a robust and earthy foundation, while the Irish whiskey adds a warming, mellow richness, and the cream crowns the drink with a velvety, sweet finish.

The Irish Coffee, often served in a warmed glass, is a favourite choice for those who appreciate the fusion of caffeine and spirits, making it a perfect companion for cozy evenings and a timeless sip of Irish hospitality.
