A cocktail in the name of coffee

Is the most beautiful but the most true lie.

It is not easy to get a cup of Irish coffee, and it is even more difficult to get a cup of Irish coffee with tears.

A bartender at Shannon International Airport in Ireland had a crush on a coffee-only stewardess and wanted to make a cocktail for her, so he quietly made a special Menu for her, which listed a special drink, "Irish Coffee Irish Coffee." after waiting for about a year, the stewardess finally ordered this cup of Irish coffee on a cold night.

So he mixed whisky with coffee and mixed the first cup of Irish coffee that belonged to her. Perhaps because years of expectations finally came true, he was moved to tears, which accidentally dripped a few drops on the edge of the cup. This cup of Irish coffee broke out after being suppressed for a long time. The girl took a few sips and fell in love with Irish coffee ever since.

Every time she passed the Shannon airport, she would come to him to order this cup of Irish coffee and talk about the anecdotes flying all over the world. He just looked at her quietly and silently made her her own Irish coffee.

Later, when she quit her job as a stewardess and he was making her the last cup of Irish coffee, he asked her softly: Want some tear drops? He hopes that she will always remember the taste of eternal yearning conveyed by these tears, but she may never understand …

When she returned to her hometown, she still missed the taste of Irish coffee, but she couldn't find it in all the cafes and bars, and she finally realized that it was the only Irish coffee in the world that he had made especially for her.

"Irish coffee Irish Coffee" is actually a cocktail, just like long Island iced tea "Long Island Iced Tea". Although it is named coffee or iced tea, both are out-and-out cocktails. Irish coffee is so special that it even has its own wine cup "Irish coffee cup". There are two gold lines on the belly of this exclusive cup, one near the bottom and the other near the rim. The two lines represent the passion and romance of wine and the profound meaning of coffee, which is love. Irish coffee not only has an intoxicating story, but also takes a lot of thought to make a cup of Irish coffee. You can't act in haste or ignore small details. Maybe this is love, too.

I remember reading a novel many years ago, in which a man and a woman who met in a small cafe began a sad love story because of Irish coffee. The heroine was the owner of the small cafe. While telling the romantic story of the bartender and the stewardess, she carefully prepared Irish coffee for the hero.

I vaguely remember the way the Irish coffee is made: while brewing the coffee, pour the whisky into the Irish cup, cut the first gold line near the bottom of the cup, add some sugar to the whisky, and then slowly heat the whiskey over low heat with an alcohol lamp holder under the cup. Burn the cup on one side and rotate the other side to make the sugar melt. Then pour the freshly brewed coffee to the second gold line near the upper edge of the cup. Add the fresh cream foam to the same height as the upper edge of the cup. Every small detail of the whole process must be careful, just like taking care of the lovers around you.

Drink without stirring, let the whisky and coffee penetrate the whipped cream, contain it in the mouth, and let the coffee and wine blend in the mouth.

Two sad stories make me look for traces of Irish coffee on Menu every time I go to a Pub or cafe. Unfortunately, even if I finally find Irish Coffee, I still can't see the process of preparing it so carefully. I often have an impulse to share these two touching stories with the owner.

The rumored wine spectrum does not have any suggestions for the choice of coffee, but the wine must use Irish Whiskey. I personally think bourbon is OK, but in order to be loyal to the originality and its name, it is best to use Irish Whiskey. As for coffee, personally, I think Blue Mountain is too bitter and Brazil is too sour. Manning seems to be the most suitable. People who are afraid of bitterness can also sprinkle some frosting on whipped cream foam, but it is recommended not to add cinnamon. So as not to disturb the special mellow aroma of this cocktail.

You can still find this cocktail at The Sheridan Food Pub in the departure hall of Shannon International Airport. However, without that tear and romance, Irish coffee can no longer drink the taste of missing.

If you have a beloved partner, why not make her (him) a cup of Irish coffee at night, remember to make it in front of her (him), and savor the love story between you, because, this is the most charming atmosphere of this cocktail.
