Legend has it that when Joe Koeppler began experimenting to recreate a perfect Irish Coffee, he was forced to ask for help from creator Joe Sheridan because the cream kept sinking into the glass. The answer he was apparently given gives us some insight into the different ingredients needed:
Cream: as full-bodied as an Irish accent;
Coffee: strong as a friendly hand;
Sugar: sweet as a thief's tongue;
Whiskey: smooth as the spirit of the earth.
And here, then, is one of the secrets of Irish Coffee: the cream must be lightly shaken to become softer and more airy, or it must be whipped with a whisk but only until it thickens, just so it doesn't sink into the hot liquid.
It is possible to substitute Irish whiskey with another distillate to create customised variations, and you can even create a summer version by using cold coffee instead of hot, but the real Irish Coffee is the one invented by Joe Sheridan on a frosty afternoon in the 1940s.
recipes
Irish Coffee
4 cl Irish Whiskey
9 cl hot coffee
3 cl cream
1-2 bar spoon sugar
Prepare a coffee that is not too strong, preferably with a mocha.
Whip or shake the fresh cream until thickened but not completely whipped.
Pour the whiskey and sugar into a heatproof glass mug and heat with the steamer without bringing to the boil. Add the very hot coffee and, after mixing well, gently pour in the cream by sliding it over the back of the teaspoon resting on the inside wall of the glass.
Cold Brew Irish Coffee
