What is the recipe for making Irish coffee? Why is Irish coffee the best hot coffee drink for winter? How to make whiskey and coffee?

10 °C! It is the lowest temperature in Guangzhou today. If there is any hot coffee drink that is most suitable for drinking in this cold weather, Qianjie believes that such a role is "Irish coffee".

Although the Irish coffee "Irish coffee" is called coffee, it adds cream, sugar and whiskey in addition to coffee. From the introduction of the material alone, we can know that it does provide enough heat to withstand the cold in winter. And it is indeed born in order to achieve this goal. The origin of Irish coffee also comes in several different versions, but without exception, these stories are all set in a winter in the mid-20th century, in a bar at Dublin airport in Ireland. A cocktail-loving bartender specially made Irish coffee for someone (whose identity will change depending on the version of the story).

In the early days, because the functions and uses of coffee and wine overlapped to a certain extent, many shops integrated coffee, wine and meals at that time, and most of the classic drinks made by the combination of coffee and wine were born at that time. For example, the coffee martini we just shared some time ago. Then again, although we rarely see Irish coffee offline, its fame and status will be much higher than we thought. Among the world-famous coffee events, there is a competition called the World Coffee and Spirits Competition, which combines two completely different worlds of wine and coffee.

In the final of the competition, contestants are required to make four drinks made of coffee and wine within a specified period of time, two of which are designated drinks-Irish coffee. The ingredients for making Irish coffee can only be used: coffee, whiskey, animal cream, and sugar. So we can know that Irish coffee is the highlight of this competition, and its position is not to be underestimated. Because the coffee of Irish coffee does not specify what kind of coffee to use, just black coffee. Therefore, whether it is a single product of black coffee, or Italian, mocha pot and other utensils made of black coffee, can become the base of Irish coffee. And this gives this coffee a lot of playability. You can not only choose different coffee beans to make coffee, but also use different extraction methods to make coffee with different characteristics, coupled with the combination of different materials, not to mention how playable.

So next, let's share how the classic Irish coffee should be made on the front street.

Irish Coffee as said in front of the street, the ingredients for classic Irish coffee are very simple: 150ml black coffee, 30ml whiskey, 5g sugar, and a little cream. But if we want to make it good, we still have to pay attention to the use of some materials themselves. Mainly whisky and coffee, which account for the largest proportion. Whisky needless to say, authentic Irish coffee certainly has to use Irish whiskey! You can choose for yourself. the focus is on coffee. Since wine, sugar and cream account for a large proportion of this drink, coffee needs to be slightly more concentrated and tastier in order to balance the taste of other ingredients.

Then here, Qianjie chose the bean of Brazilian Queen's Manor, which is deeply roasted with a stronger "coffee flavor". At the same time, the nutty and creamy aromas of Brazilian beans match the aroma of the wine very well, which can achieve the effect of 1: 1 > 2. Cooking by hand, the parameters are as follows: powder amount 15g, grinding to ek43 10.5scale, 75% screening rate of No. 20 sieve, water temperature 88 °C, powder-water ratio 1:12, filter cup is kono, cooking method is three-stage.

Skip the brewing process directly, and we put the brewed coffee aside and set aside. Then pour 30ml whisky into a prepared glass, add a cube of sugar, heat it over open fire and heat until the cube completely melts.

Here in the front street need to be warned, as most of the Irish coffee is hot drinks, and the products are made of glasses, so if you want to follow the classic process of heating the wine and sugar in the cup, then the glass had better choose heat-resistant, and to warm the glass in advance, so as to reduce the risk of glass cracking due to heating.

After heating, we can pour in 150ml's black coffee and mix it well with the wine.

Finally, top with whipped or unwhipped cream, and the Irish coffee is finished! If we don't think it's good enough, we can also add some caramel cookies, cinnamon sticks or other "decorations" to embellish them.

As soon as you take a sip, you will feel the same hot and cold layering as dirty coffee. Hot coffee and iced cream are intertwined in the mouth. The strong cream and whisky enhance the taste of the coffee and make it very silky. Flavor performance as Qianjie said, because Brazil's own flavor and whisky are very compatible, both aromas have been magnified, very prominent! With the increase of drinking times, the cream is decreasing, the coffee is getting stronger and stronger, the level can be said to be very rich!
