Irish Coffee (Irish Coffee) is a cocktail, which is based on Irish Whiskey and supplemented with coffee.

According to legend, a bartender at Dublin airport blends whisky with hot coffee for the first time to make an Irish coffee cocktail for the girl he likes.

Origin one

Irish coffee is an alcoholic coffee first made by Joseph Sheridan in 1940. It is made by mixing hot coffee, Irish Whiskey, cream and sugar.

Origin II

In 1952, American journalist Stan delnplane landed at Shannon Airport in western Ireland. Low temperatures and strong winds delayed his voyage to the United States. Stan asked the bartender at the cocktail bar in the waiting hall what he would advise himself to drink in that weather. The bartender made a hot drink, and Stan felt great after tasting it, so he asked the bartender what it was. The bartender said it was our coffee, and we called it Irish coffee.

When Stan returned to San Francisco, he gave the cocktail recipe to his favorite bar, Buena Vista. The success of Irish coffee belongs to the Buena Vista bar, which has a contract with Irish Distillers to supply Irish Whiskey. In this case, the company decided to create a special whisky variety to make Irish coffee cocktails and named it after the bar, Buena Vista.

Irish coffee is not very particular about coffee beans. Choose beans with deep roasting degree and strong coffee flavor.

I think Irish coffee is more particular about whisky. First of all, the coffee is made by the bartender. Second, because Irish Whiskey has a soft flavor and sufficient aroma, it makes people feel warm. The reason for not choosing Scotch Whisky is that most of Scotch Whisky's peat flavor is heavy, which will cover the aroma and flavor of the coffee.

The raw material is Irish Whiskey with coffee beans, special coffee cup, special cooking method, serious and persistent, ancient and simple. The Irish coffee cup is a kind of heat-resistant cup which is convenient for baking cups. The method of baking cup can remove alcohol from spirits, so that the aroma of wine and coffee can be more directly reconciled. [material introduction] 1. Irish coffee cup: a special heat-resistant tall cup with a line between the upper edge and the lower edge, the lower edge is marked 1 ounce, and the upper edge is 180 c. C. 2, alcohol lamp: or gas lamp, the fire is not too big, used for baking cup 3, ounce cup or measuring cup: optional, it is more convenient to control the amount of alcohol. 4. Spirits: Irish Whiskey is generally used, but it is not easy to get. 5. Sugar: rock sugar, granulated sugar or special sugar for coffee. Sugar that generally does not affect the taste of coffee (such as brown sugar) can be [baked] a spoonful of sugar, the right amount (about half an ounce to an ounce, that is, 15 to 30c.c. Pour the spirits into the Irish cup. Ignite the source of fire (alcohol lamp or gas lamp). Hold the left index finger and thumb to the bottom of the cup stalk and hold the cup base with the right hand. Let the fire start from the bottom of the cup, and then the right hand slowly turns the bottom of the cup to heat the cup evenly. When you see the fog at the mouth of the cup slowly appear, and when the fog disappears slowly as the temperature rises, slowly move the source of fire to the mouth of the cup. At this time, I saw the blue flame burning. Shake the glass so that the wine shakes around the glass, causing the alcohol to volatilize and burn until the fire goes out. The baking cup is complete. There are three ways to shake a cup: 1. Shake it on the table: if the table is slippery enough, it is labor-saving and easy to use. 2. Hold the cup and shake the feet: people with slender fingers shake gracefully in this way (it is obvious that the demonstration hands are thicker). Use the wrist to achieve the goal of shaking evenly. This method can be practiced by filling a cup with water. 3. Shake the bottom of the cup: the sobering action of red wine, using fingers to swing the glass back and forth to achieve the uniform rotation of the wine in the glass. [Irish coffee] 1. First make the Luzhou-flavor base 150c.c. two。 Half an ounce of whiskey and a small spoonful of sugar (preferably rock sugar or coffee sugar) are added to the Irish coffee cup. 3. When you have finished baking the cup, bring the coffee to the height of the black line above the Irish coffee cup. two. A short novel by riffraff Cai directly uses the name of Irish coffee, which tells the story of the hero's acquaintance with a girl of Irish descent who can make pure Irish coffee until he falls in love with each other. For coffee, it is mentioned that pure Irish coffee has Irish Whiskey. Most cafes use Scotch Whisky, but the two compare Irish prestige. Steamed taboo is not as strong as Scotch Whisky alcohol can better blend with coffee, and the roast cup is also very important, and it is best not to stir hot drinks when drinking. Most coffee shops pay attention to the environment and the use of cups and plates, and in order to be safe and convenient, they often skip baking cups with Scotch Whisky, so that coffee wine or wine coffee or coffee can not be mixed together. It's not easy to drink a cup of pure Irish coffee. The story about it is touching (specially edited by Cai Zhiheng for Irish Coffee.) 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. Then he finally came up with a way to combine the girl he felt like Irish Whiskey with coffee to become 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 different from you. She is not a careful person, so she has 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? 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." But I still don'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. Okay, that's the end of the story. Do you know why no one ordered Irish coffee for a whole year, and the stewardess finally became the first person to order Irish coffee? Because the bartender made a double coffee list, only the coffee list that the stewardess gave the stewardess when she ordered coffee said Irish coffee, but not on the other coffee list, so other guests could not order Irish coffee because of this story. Irish coffee is called Angel tears. (in fact, one page of the story is a tragic ending, but sadness is not as romantic as this kind of coffee itself.)
