FAQs

What's the difference between Irish coffee and Gaelic coffee? ›

In Southeast Asia, you may see a co*cktail of iced coffee and whiskey, sometimes without cream, under the name "Irish coffee" served. Gaelic coffee is very similar to Irish coffee, but instead of Irish whiskey, Scotch whiskey is used instead. And in Russia, instead of Irish whiskey, vodka is used.

Tip: pouring the cream slowly will help prevent it from sinking into the coffee. Sprinkle some grated nutmeg on the top of the cream and serve immediately.

Pour Irish whiskey into the prepared glass. Fill with coffee to within 1/2 inch of top. Add sugar and stir. Top with whipped cream.

How Strong Is the Irish Coffee? When made with an 80-proof whiskey in the measurements given in the recipe, the Irish coffee is relatively gentle at right around 9 percent ABV (18 proof). While the alcohol effect may be minimal, drinking Irish coffee will keep some people awake.

Irish coffee (Irish: caife Gaelach) is a caffeinated alcoholic drink consisting of Irish whiskey, hot coffee and sugar, which has been stirred and topped with cream (sometimes cream liqueur). The coffee is drunk through the cream.

However, an Irish coffee co*cktail is best consumed in the evenings as a dessert. Since it's part sugar and whiskey, it's no different than a sweet treat after a delicious supper. Cap off a long day with this tasty beverage at any pub in Ireland.

It is recommended that cream liqueurs be stored in a cool place, but refrigeration is not necessary. Manufacturers of cream liqueurs point to the effective preservative qualities of alcohol as the reason that refrigeration is not required.

Recipe Tip

Avoid curdling – I did some research as to ensure a life free of curdling and it's all about adding the alcohol slowly and being sure to use heavy cream. Alcohol is an acid so making irish cream with, say, whole milk will definitely break the milk, which could result in some serious coagulation.

If you prefer a creamier, smoother texture reminiscent of melted ice cream, Baileys may be the best choice. The Baileys taste is both indulgent and satisfying with its signature blend of Irish cream, whiskey, and cocoa. Consider both flavor profiles when deciding whether you want to try Kahlua or Baileys in coffee.

HOW TO MAKE. Into an Irish coffee mug (it's a thing – look it up), or heat resistant mug, add Kahlúa coffee liqueur, Jameson Irish whiskey and your favorite hot coffee. Spoon the whipped cream on top and garnish with grated nutmeg ('tis the season!)

What's in a hotty toddy? ›

To make a hot toddy, you'll need bourbon (which is a type of whiskey), honey, lemons, cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, and whole cloves. Simply combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and honey in a mug and add boiling water (use more or less water depending on how strong you'd like your hot toddy to be).

Irish whiskey has a smooth, round flavor, as opposed to the smoky quality of Scotch whisky. If you don't have Irish whiskey, substitute bourbon.

St. Patrick's Day or not, an Irish Coffee is an ideal fall and winter co*cktail thanks to its warming nature—both from the hot coffee and the toasty whiskey, while the cream ensures a velvety richness. The co*cktail has a fascinating history spanning continents.

This is where it all began! Original Irish Cream blends Irish whiskey and spirits with Irish dairy cream and a touch of rich chocolate and vanilla flavours. Pour over ice cream, mix into coffee, or enjoy it with ice for an originally delish Baileys moment.

Put whisky into warmed glass, add coffee and sugar to taste. Pour cream over back of spoon to give thick coating on top. Sip the very hot coffee through the layer of cool cream.

Classic Irish coffees are made with just four ingredients: hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and whipped cream. Oftentimes in restaurants, Irish coffees are overwhelmingly sweet and rich. I love making them at home because you can make them exactly how you like them. Plus, Irish coffees are so simple to make.

Irish coffee has four main ingredients: coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and cream. But there are many variations of this classic coffee drink, some of which include steamed milk.

Our take on the classic Irish Coffee is a coffee lovers heaven. Demerara sugar and cream contribute mellow sweet tones to this definitively bitter drink. Perfect for warming the soul on chilly winter nights, this co*cktail features floral notes and infusions of apple.
