The Irish Coffee is a classic drink that's outlasted any number of trends and movements within the cocktail industry.

And since we're still in winter's cold grip, the core ingredients of warm coffee and whiskey are even more appealing.

It's an old beverage showing no signs of slowing down, originally concocted in northern Europe to take on the many grey days of the offseason. We love it around St. Patrick's Day as well as late in the evening, with decaf plugged into the equation for an ideal nightcap cocktail.
