Irish Coffee

Irish Coffee

EverydayAlcoholCaffeine

Irish coffee is a classic cocktail combining hot brewed coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and a layer of lightly whipped cream. Originating in 1940s Ireland, this beverage uniquely pairs caffeine’s stimulant effects with alcohol’s depressant properties, creating a complex physiological impact. The drink’s signature presentation features a velvety cream topping that floats above the sweetened coffee-whiskey base, contributing significant calories from both alcohol and dairy fat.
