Irish Coffee: miss the unlucky person in this life

The inventor of Irish coffee is a bartender at Dublin airport. Because transatlantic planes often refuel at this airport, passengers like to have a cup of Irish coffee when they get off the plane, so it spreads to all parts of the world with the flight.

The bartender is made for a beautiful stewardess.

The bartender met the girl at Dublin airport, probably in love at first sight. The bartender liked the stewardess very much. He thought she was like Irish Whiskey, fragrant and mellow. But every time she came to the bar, she always lit a different coffee with her mood and never ordered a cocktail.

The bartender is good at mixing cocktails. He really wants her to drink the cocktail he made for her. Later, he finally came up with a way to combine Irish Whiskey, which he felt like a girl, with coffee to form a new drink. Then name it Irish Coffee and add it to Menu, hoping the girl will find out.

It's a pity that this girl is not a careful person, so she never found Irish coffee. The bartender never reminded her, but did his job at the bar and looked forward to the girl's visit every once in a while. Then she finally found Irish coffee and ordered it.

It's that simple? Do you know how much effort it takes for a bartender to create Irish coffee?

Basically, it is very difficult to fully integrate Irish Whiskey with coffee.

The first is the ratio of whisky to coffee. Whisky costs a little more than an ounce, about 30 c.c. Left and right. Five ounces of coffee, 150 c. C, the ratio is about one to five. Do you know how many times this has been tested? The girl has never ordered cocktails, so she probably doesn't like the smell of alcohol very much, but whisky is a stinging spirit. So he must find a way to make the wine lighter, but not the aroma and taste of the wine. Therefore, in the process of baking cup, the heat is very important.

Irish coffee has strict requirements on the choice of whisky, the ratio of coffee to whisky, and the cup and cooking method, but the choice of coffee is relatively casual, as long as it is strong and hot.

What causes it?

In addition to the fact that girls do not have a favorite coffee, it also represents another form of tolerance. No matter how fastidious about whisky, it is very forgiving for coffee. The bartender may just want to make her a cup of Irish coffee and doesn't care whether she can appreciate his hard work and persistence or whether she will be moved.

Do you know how long it took for the bartender to order Irish coffee from the bartender to the girl?

A whole year.

When he first made Irish coffee for her, he burst into tears with excitement. For fear of being seen by her, he wiped away his tears with his fingers and secretly drew a circle around the mouth of the Irish coffee cup with tears. So the taste of the first sip of Irish coffee is fermented after missing has been suppressed for a long time. And she became the first guest to order Irish coffee.

The stewardess likes Irish coffee so much that she will order a cup of Irish coffee as soon as she stops at Dublin airport. Over time, the two of them became acquainted with each other, the stewardess would tell him interesting stories about countries around the world, and the bartender taught her to make Irish coffee. Their story didn't end until one day she decided to stop being a stewardess and told him Farewell.

Farewell? Farewell, I won't see you again. Goodbye, unlike Goodbye. The last time he made her Irish coffee, he asked her: Want some tear drops?

Because he still wants her to understand the taste of missing fermentation.

When she returned to her home in San Francisco, she suddenly wanted Irish coffee one day, but she couldn't find it in all the cafes. Later, she learned that Irish coffee was created for her by the bartender, but she still didn't understand why the bartender asked her, "Want some tear drops."

Before long, she opened a coffee shop and started selling Irish coffee. Gradually, Irish coffee became popular in San Francisco. This is why Irish coffee first appeared in Dublin, Ireland, but prevailed in San Francisco.

After the stewardess left, the bartender also began to ask guests to order Irish coffee, so people who drink Irish coffee at Dublin airport will think that Irish coffee is a cocktail. And people who drink it in San Francisco Cafe will of course think that Irish coffee is coffee.

So Irish coffee is both a cocktail and coffee, which in itself is a beautiful mistake.

500ml hot coffee

4 Note Irish Whiskey

300 ml or 1 + cup double cream or high fat cream

Hot water

Chocolate (optional)

Step 1

Make a cup of coffee of your favorite taste.

Heat the glass. If you don't want the glass to break, you can put the glass on top of hot water for a few seconds.

You can leave the stirred teaspoon in the glass. If the cup is thick, it will help absorb the heat of the coffee.

Step 4

Sugar the coffee. Add one tablespoon (15ml) of brown sugar to each glass.

Step 5

Add a shot of whisky to the glass. Stir.

Step 6

Pour coffee into the cup until 15 millimeters away from the edge of the cup. Mix sugar and whiskey with coffee.

Don't forget to leave some room for the cream.

Step 7

Fill the rest of the space with cream. Add whipped cream to the top of the hot coffee with a spoon.

Don't stir, the cream should float on top.

Step 8

Serve the coffee. Although it's not a necessary step, you can add some of your favorite chocolate on top of the cream of Irish coffee. You can try breaking or scraping some chocolate flakes with peppermint or other chocolate flavors you like.
