Dave's Famous Irish Coffee Recipe
Try it out and impress your friends on St. Patrick's Day!
Dave's Famous Irish Coffee:
- Brew very strong Irish Coffee Blend (or espresso works great!)
- Heat cup in hot water
- Measure Jamesons or Old Bush Mills Irish Whiskey in the bottom
- Add sugar to taste and stir
- Add strong Irish Coffee Blend
- Top with whipped or heavy cream – from scratch is best!
- Sip and enjoy!
There's plenty of time to pick up a pound or two of our Irish Coffee Blend and perfect your skills before St. Patty's Day.
For our Irish coffee mini photoshoot, we used the very glasses in which Dave and Joan would serve their Irish Coffee to their guests, back in the day. "We used to be known for these," Joan reminisces as we whip the cream for the garnish.
On their second date, Dave made an Irish Coffee for Joan. He says Joan might possibly have married him due to those Irish Coffees. :) At the time, Dave was selling the La Peppina handheld lever espresso machine out of their shop and this is what they used, with the espresso blend, to make the Irish Coffees. Fast forward a few years and it became tradition for the Stewarts to enjoy Irish Coffees on Christmas Eve as well.
We recommend strong brewed coffee or espresso for the recipe, but the Aeropress should work great too.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
