In celebration of Irish Coffee Day (that’s today, January 25!) renowned mixologists Dale Dale DeGroff (aka “King Cocktail,” James Beard Award winner and author of The Craft of Cocktail) and JoaquÃn Simó of famed Alchemy Consulting and Pouring Ribbons, offer up premium riffs on this classic winter tipple. Irish Coffee, which was first created in Ireland by chef Joe Sheridan, became a popular drink worldwide, thanks to its blend of sumptuous flavors, and continues today to be a favorite digestif during winter months. These newly crafted versions were made using Knappogue Castle Irish whiskey and Clontarf Irish whiskey, which pay homage to the original creator, Sheridan.
