How Does an Irish Coffee Compare to a Dirty Coffee?
An Irish Coffee is made by blending Irish whiskey with hot coffee, sugar and a layer of cream on top. It is drunk without stirring at first: the hot coffee sits below the cold cream, so the flavor and mouthfeel change gradually with each sip, similar to a Dirty. Anyone sensitive to alcohol should approach it with care.
Ireland combined its local distilled spirit with coffee long before recent creative drinks appeared on the market elsewhere, where brands have added spirits such as Moutai to a latte. The recipe itself is simple, but swapping the coffee beans changes the result completely, because the extraction carries different aromas and acidity into the whiskey and cream.
Coffee consumption is becoming increasingly popular in China. Beyond the common espresso-based categories, many brands have rolled out creative coffees with unique flavors, such as Luckin's Sauce-Flavor Latte, which once sparked widespread discussion. In fact, long ago, the Irish combined their local distilled spirit, whiskey, with coffee to create the world-famous Irish Coffee.
