2. Classic Irish Coffee
Tradition states that each Irish Coffee recipe should contain an ingredient list that must include Irish Whiskey, coffee, brown sugar, and cream. The alcohol used must be an Irish spirit, while the cream used must be unwhipped cream. The Brown Sugar and Uwhipped Cream must also be combined separately and then poured ontop of the coffee.
3. Cold Brew Old Fashioned
The spirit must be an Irish alcohol, not any French, English, or Scottish liquors. The coffee must be strong in taste, with the idea being that you should only taste the spirit and the coffee, not the sugar.
4. Coffee Negroni
Adding to the menu of intriguing coffee-infused cocktails is the Coffee Negroni. It adds coffee to the classic Negroni ingredients of gin, Campari, and vermouth.

So get ready to grab a few beans from the bottom of the glass as a treat.
