Irish Coffee

Irish Coffee is a comforting and indulgent cocktail that combines hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and a layer of lightly whipped cream. First created in Ireland in the 1940s, it delivers a rich balance of warmth, sweetness, and smoothness. Perfect for chilly evenings, it’s both a drink and a dessert in one.
