Irish cream liqueur. Cream liqueur or Irish Cream is a special category of Irish liqueurs

Irish coffee also has a second name: “Irish coffee” - it is a cocktail that includes Irish whiskey, granulated sugar, whipped cream, and hot strong coffee. The drink is very popular in many countries around the world. Who is the founder of Irish coffee? In 1942, Foynes Airport was crowded due to a canceled flight. The reason for not taking off was bad weather; the chilled crowd bundled up as best they could and waited with hope for changes in weather conditions. This whole picture was observed by the waiter, who offered the chilled public coffee prepared according to his own recipe (cream and Irish whiskey). Everyone who tried the drink was very pleased. Passengers, having found him, asked the name of the coffee, to which he replied “Irish”. After this day, the whole world learned about Irish coffee. Today at this airport there is a memorial plaque on which a piece of the history of the origin of the drink is recorded.

Utensils for Irish coffee

A mug with a small handle and a short stem is used as a tableware. Why exactly this glass? Everything is very simple, this design makes it possible to maintain the temperature of the drink without burning your fingers. Before pouring freshly prepared coffee into a glass, it is properly burned with boiling water. Previously, such dishes were used for beer, but that day the bartender did not have the required mug. Therefore, today such a glass is called an “Irish glass”.

Subtleties of preparing the drink

As you know, everyone prepares Irish coffee according to their own individual recipe, so it is not surprising that the drink has the same name, but completely different taste characteristics. However, connoisseur coffee makers adhere to a single recipe, which is considered official and was put forward by the bartenders association.

Classic Irish coffee recipe

To prepare it we need the following ingredients:

water – 100 ml,
whiskey – 30 ml (2 tablespoons, at the rate of 1 tablespoon holds 15 ml),
coffee beans - 4-5 teaspoons,
granulated sugar – 1 teaspoon,
whipped cream – 30-40 ml,
drinking cream 20% - 5-6 teaspoons (for those who do not like whipped cream).

Cooking steps

1. First of all, we prepare coffee. In a coffee grinder, carefully grind 4 teaspoons of coffee beans until dusty. The grinding time is approximately 1 minute.

2. Measure out 100 ml of water, mix with ground coffee and put on fire. We cook over low heat, this way the coffee will brew, but not “brew”, this is a mistake many make. Just bring to a boil and remove from heat.

3. Take a glass, pour boiling water over it and leave it for a couple of minutes so that the walls of the dish warm up properly.

4. Just pour the prepared coffee and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix all this well.

5. Measure out 2 tablespoons of whiskey and add to coffee.

6. We make a beautiful snow-white hat from whipped cream. If you don't like whipped cream, you can replace it with regular drinking cream. Pour the cream into a deep bowl and beat with a blender or mixer for 1-2 minutes until foamy. Remove the foam from above and decorate the surface of the coffee with it. The drink is ready.

The concept of Irish cream coffee

This is another type of Irish coffee, only with a more delicate taste. This type of strong drink is also no less popular, since it contains Baileys liqueur, which most women adore. It is believed that the liqueur gives coffee a delicate taste with a pleasant creamy aroma. To prepare it we need the following list of ingredients:

water – 100 ml,
coffee beans - 3-4 teaspoons,
cane sugar – 1 teaspoon,
whipped cream – 25-30 ml,
dark chocolate – 2 teaspoons,
Baileys liqueur - 40 ml.

Cooking steps

1. Measure out 3 teaspoons of coffee beans and place them in the coffee grinder. Grind thoroughly until you get “coffee powder.”

2. Mix the resulting coffee in a pot with cold water and put it on the fire, stirring occasionally. Bring to a boil and turn off, stir again and leave on the stove.

3. If you have special utensils like “Irish glass”, then great. But you can also use other dishes, for example, a porcelain mug. Pour hot boiling water over it several times and pour in the prepared coffee.

4. Take 1 teaspoon of cane sugar and dissolve it in coffee. If there is no such sugar, then take regular sugar and fry it in a frying pan until golden brown.

5. Measure out 3 tablespoons of liqueur and add to the center of the coffee, without stirring.

6. Decorate the surface of the coffee with whipped cream at your discretion.

7. Grate the chocolate and sprinkle with coffee, about 2 teaspoons. You can add more if you wish.

If desired, you can add cinnamon, vanilla, and instead of the same Baileys, you can add cream syrup. Coffee aficionados have the opportunity to visit Foinse Airport in Ireland on July 19th for an Irish coffee brewing competition. Bartenders from all over the world come to the festival.

Carolans Irish Cream is a premium cream liqueur with Irish origins. Thanks to its excellent rich taste, this drink has won fans not only among sophisticated ladies, but also among the stronger sex. Recipes known today will allow you to prepare this drink at home without much effort.

In the article:

Characteristics of Carolans liqueur

Carolans liqueur was first produced in 1978. The success of this drink was ensured not only by its taste, but also by its name. The name Carolans refers to the name of the wandering blind harpist Thorl O'Carol, who is an Irish legend and after whom this alcoholic drink is named. And since Carolans liqueur was produced specifically for wealthy people - lords who knew a lot about art, the producers’ idea worked, and the drink very quickly became popular.

The producers of this elite alcohol know that the quality of the drink directly depends on the raw materials used, so only selected and high-quality ingredients are used to prepare Carolans Irish Cream. Naturally, the detailed details of the preparation process, as well as the recipe, are kept secret, but the manufacturers do not hide its main composition, thereby emphasizing the eliteness and advantages of their creation.

The base is Irish whiskey Tullamore Dew, which is popular all over the world, which has also raised the profile of Carolans. Any cream liqueur contains honey, but some manufacturers of such drinks use aromatic substances instead. Carolans contains heather honey, which is also a legend in Irish fairy tales. Cream is another required attribute in such a drink, which is delivered from enterprises specially engaged in the production of this dairy product for this alcohol. And finally, cocoa, although the bottle says that it contains chocolate, but this is not the case, it is cocoa that is added, which gives that very chocolate note.

Irish Cream liqueur has a creamy beige color, slightly thick consistency, and a creamy aroma with chocolate notes. Its taste is rich, moderately sweet, creamy with a hint of caramel and cocoa. Strength – 17%. Very similar to, but differs from it in the more pronounced taste of cream instead of alcohol.

How and with what to use Carolans

Typically, cream liqueurs are consumed as a digestif after meals. But due to the fact that Carolans has a low percentage of sugar, it is appropriate to serve it before meals as an aperitif.

This creamy alcohol must be drunk from liqueur glasses with a thick bottom; it must be at room temperature. Although some fans add pieces of ice to it.

Traditionally, cream liqueur is added to coffee (in this capacity, liqueur is no worse than). You can also add this alcohol to fruit salads, ice cream and various desserts.

HISTORY OF THE IRISH COFFEE RECIPE

“The cream is rich, like an Irish accent. Coffee is strong, like a friendly hand. Sugar is sweet, like the tender words of a seducer. Whiskey as smooth as the wit of the Earth.”

Joe Sheridan

In the mid-30s of the last century, flights across the Atlantic were a serious test for passengers - seaplanes at that time were not heated, the cabins were not sufficiently sealed, and flights could last more than 16 hours.

seaplane Dornier DOX Flying Boat-03

Before the Second World War, these flights were a very risky business, and one of the most important transit hubs for transatlantic airlines at that time was an air base on the left bank of the Shannon Estuary, the longest river in Ireland, near the village of Foynes, located at the mouth of River Robertstown in County Limerick ( province of Munster). This military port and harbor for hydroaviation served as the point from which the journey across the Atlantic Ocean began and ended. But Foynes was not always the final destination of the journey, after which passengers could go home or warm rooms in cozy hotels and fall asleep in a warm bed after drinking hot milk. Many people had a connecting flight through this Irish port, or their seaplane simply stopped to refuel and wait out the bad weather. And all passengers, both in summer and in the cold wet winter, after the seaplane splashed down in the North Atlantic, were forced to transfer to a boat in order to get from the plane to the shore. And when they sailed to the port in bad weather, they were very cold. While the seaplane was preparing for the next leg of the journey, the passengers rested on the shore, sometimes having to spend the night in Foynes if the weather was bad. By 1940, hundreds of passengers passed through the concourse of Foynes Airport, among whom, according to rumors, John Kennedy, Yehudi Menuhin, Humphrey Bogart, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Ernest Hemingway were seen, and they, like everyone else, were forced to wait for their flight at the airport . But I must say that Ireland has a damp and cool climate. Exhausted in bad weather by bumping over the surface of the water, and even often frozen, passengers on airplanes of that time felt at their limit after landing. Therefore, for the convenience of travelers and to brighten up the long hours of waiting, the British airline BOAC opened a small cafe at the airport. The bartender there was Joseph Sheridan. It was he who first tried adding Irish whiskey to coffee, creating a completely new drink around 1942. When the Americans waiting for the plane asked him if it was Brazilian coffee, he thoughtfully replied: “Rather, it’s Irish coffee.” The drink was enjoyed by the waiting passengers and was quickly included in the main menu. To give a special twist to the drink, he added sugar and cream, and to emphasize its beauty, he decided to serve it not in a cup, but in a special glass, which is also now called an “Irish glass.”

Joe Sheridan

On the other side of the estuary at the mouth of the River Shannon, on previously wetlands, a new airport had been under construction since 1936 and when work on the construction of its runways and terminals was completed in 1942, Shannon Airport received its first, initially only military, aircraft. It also had a cafe, but after a visit to the airport by Eamon de Valera, the then Prime Minister of Ireland, the airport cafe was converted into a full-fledged first class restaurant - with national food and drinks. Joseph Sheridan became its chef. Thanks to its advantageous location, many airlines in Europe and North America began to cooperate with the airport after World War II. The first transatlantic flight from New York to Shannon took place on September 16, 1945. In subsequent years, the airport experienced an increase in passenger traffic. It became an important refueling point between the two continents. In 1947, Ireland's first duty free zone was opened at the airport.

Although Foynes Air Force Base was closed in 1945, and the era of seaplanes came to an end, giving way to comfortable airliners, in memory of the birth of Irish coffee, a memorial plaque was installed on the wall of that very bar in Foynes. Every year on July 19, Foynes residents organize an Irish coffee day - baristas from all over the world compete in the art of preparing the “legend,” and the local aviation museum honors the hero of the occasion with an enchanting parade. And Joseph Sheridan continued to save tired passengers, and if not for an unexpected meeting in 1952 with journalist Stanton Delaplane, who immediately appreciated the potential of the drink, Irish Coffee may have remained in obscurity.

Stanton Delaplane

But fate decreed otherwise. Returning to America, Stanton told about the amazing coffee to the owner of the Buena Vista cafe in San Francisco, Jack Koeppler, who immediately got the idea of serving this drink to the guests of his establishment. The friends spent hours experimenting with different types of whiskey and proportions of Irish coffee ingredients, but nothing worked. The real Irish coffee, whose taste they felt on their lips, did not work out. Something elusive constantly eluded the hands of experimenters. The cream constantly sank to the bottom of the glass, as one English-language narrator of the history of Irish coffee interestingly put it: “They could never teach cream to float.”

The desire to get an Irish coffee recipe made Jack fly to Shannon and ask the author himself - Joe Sheridan. And the Irish chef told his colleague in confidence that coffee cream should only be lightly whisked. Don't expect thick and fluffy foam. And, the most important secret of making Irish coffee is that the cream is poured into the coffee slowly, placing the back of a spoon under the creamy stream. Showing remarkable persistence, Jack, although not immediately, managed to solve two main problems of the cocktail, which did not want to be given into the wrong hands: a slightly different taste than the original, and cream that did not want to linger on the surface of the drink. Since then, Irish coffee has firmly established itself in the Buena Vista cafe and turned it into a cult place that has become an attraction for tourists. And after some time, the cocktail was very quickly replicated in numerous bars not only in America, but all over the world.

At the end of 1952, Americans Jack Kepler, owner of the Bueno Vista cafe, and Stanton Delaplane invited Sheridan to move to America and open his own business there, to begin to realize, so to speak, his American dream. Having moved to California, having worked a little magic on the drink, Sheridan, together with Kepler, further improved the recipe for the drink, which became a standard and is still kept secret. They found the perfect ratio of whiskey, coffee and cream. “The future is predetermined,” exclaimed Kepler. “We will open Buena Vista in every corner of America!” Now in this cafe there is a commemorative plaque that the first Irish coffee was served in 1952. Every day their cafe serves a huge number of servings of this wonderful drink.

Here is the Irish coffee recipe:

Pour 40 ml of Irish whiskey or scotch into a heated special Irish coffee glass (it has a handle on the side).

Add 1 tablespoon of cane sugar (white or sugar syrup).

Pour in 80 milliliters of hot espresso. It’s better to add half, stir the sugar, and then pour in the rest.

Carefully spoon 30 milliliters of cold whipped cream on top with a cold spoon.

If desired, you can sprinkle ground cinnamon, grated chocolate or nutmeg on top.

The highlight of this drink is not only the color contrast (black and white), but also the taste (cold and hot). Drink Irish coffee without using a straw, the whole point is to sip hot coffee through cold cream. Try to drink not the cream, but what is underneath it. You feel the delicate aroma of cream, and drink coffee with whiskey. This is an extraordinary pleasure!

Now Irish coffee can be ordered in bars, restaurants, coffee shops or prepared at home - this drink will delight you with its balanced, refined taste and aroma. To make coffee tasty, it is important to follow the correct proportions, choose aromatic and high-quality coffee, cream and whiskey. Experts say that for the “correct” preparation of Irish coffee they used coffee from grade B beans Yuli, but if such coffee cannot be found, then you can take another one. The main thing is that it is fresh and brewed from grain or ground coffee, but in no case instant. Remember, this coffee cannot be mixed, it comes in layers. You need to enjoy this coffee through the thick and fluffy foam of the cream. Enjoy your time with a glass of this delicious and aromatic coffee!

The exact recipe for Irish Coffee from I.B.A.:

Hot black coffee – 80 ml (4 parts)

Irish whiskey – 40 ml (2 parts)

Brown sugar - 1 teaspoon

Whipped cream - 30 ml (1½ parts)

This composition of this cocktail is registered by the International Bartenders Association and is included in the list of official cocktails by the International Bartenders Association.

Warm up a special glass of Irish Coffee. Pour out the water, wipe the glass, pour whiskey, coffee and sugar into it, stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour cold whipped cream onto a warm, inverted bar spoon and place it on top of the drink without stirring. Serve immediately, drink over the edge, without a straw and without stirring.

Over the years, Irish coffee has acquired not only many stories, but also a large number of preparation options. Sometimes honey is added there, sometimes cinnamon is added on top of the cream, and the cream itself in modern bars and coffee shops is often replaced with that from a can. But the most authentic Irish coffee is also made in the now legendary Buena Vista cafe. The intersection of Hyde and Beach streets in San Francisco is on everyone's lips these days. It's a serious crime to visit the city without visiting Buena Vista. BV (as the townspeople nicknamed the café) serves over 2,000 glasses of Irish Coffee to coffee lovers every day, and over 50 years the number of servings prepared has exceeded 32,661,000. “Irish coffee has put us on the map!” exclaims the venue's manager, Mike Carden. And one of the coffee shop’s regulars, Antonio Galo, keeps count of the cocktails he’s drunk – this year alone he has 560 glasses in his arsenal!

If the sharp-tongued Yogi Berra (real name Lawrence Peter Berra - the famous American baseball player and humorist, Major League Baseball player) wanted to say something about the Buena Vista cafe, he would probably say: “Nobody goes to this cafe anymore, because it is always crowded."

Delicate Irish Cream coffee.

There is another very popular way to prepare an Irish coffee cocktail, which is more often called “Irish cream coffee.” It contains a lighter strong drink of Irish origin - Baileys cream liqueur. The liqueur gives the coffee cocktail a soft, delicate taste due to its rich creamy notes.

Required ingredients:

100 ml hot black coffee;

50 ml Baileys liqueur;

1 spoon of cane sugar;

whipped cream;

chocolate chips.

Rinse the Irish glass with hot water and fill it with strong black coffee. Add one teaspoon of cane sugar (you can use regular sugar instead, after frying it until it turns brown) and stir until completely dissolved. Then add cream liqueur and whipped cream, which we carefully sprinkle with chocolate chips. We drink the cocktail through a layer of cream and enjoy its amazing taste.

coffee-po-irlandski

European Irish coffee recipe.

Many Europeans prefer to drink milk coffee or coffee with regular cream. Therefore, the recipe for the original Irish drink was slightly modified. This cocktail may be somewhat reminiscent of a Latte coffee, but the main ingredient here is still whiskey, not milk.

We will need:

50 ml Irish whiskey;

200 ml of strong natural coffee;

2 teaspoons cane sugar;

2 tablespoons of milk or fresh cream (fat content 20%);

Take a large Irish glass (330 ml) and warm it in hot water. Fill a glass with hot coffee and dissolve sugar in it. After this, add whiskey and mix thoroughly. At the end, pour preheated cream (or milk) in a thin stream over a spoon. The cream will make the taste of this coffee cocktail softer and lighter. This recipe will appeal to anyone who doesn’t like too strong coffee. Of course, there are many variations of preparing the famous Irish coffee: you can add chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon to the cocktail. Fans of soft drinks can use cream syrup instead of Baileys liqueur when preparing Irish coffee. There are no limits to imagination!

Why is Irish coffee cream not whipped into a thick foam?

Some recipes suggest whipping the cream into cream. And get a foamy, creamy addition to your coffee. But there is no need for foam in Irish coffee, this is not a milkshake, and let us remind you that one of the most important moments of enjoying this drink is that hot coffee, completely soaked in scalding droplets of aromatic whiskey, slips through the cold creaminess of the cream. Let us repeat, the trick of Irish coffee is precisely in the process of penetration of hot, bitter-sweet into thick-cold, which you feel at all stages and enjoy this contrast. This will not work through creamy foam. Experts say that it is the sugar in coffee and the correct addition of cream using the back of a spoon that in any case keeps the cream on the surface.

What kind of whiskey is needed for Irish coffee?

Of course, real Irish coffee requires real Irish whiskey. And not scotch whiskey (Scotch whiskey), rum or cognac.

It is believed that triple distilled Irish whiskey (and almost all Irish whiskey is triple distilled, which is different from most whiskeys of Scotch origin) gives Irish coffee a smoother taste. Other drinks “stick out” a little, competing and a little “scandalous” with the rest of the recipe ingredients. And, as they believe in the homeland of this delicious hot drink, for Irish coffee you can take Jameson brand whiskey (Jameson is the one I use most often), Paddy (this is an old Irish whiskey from the Cork distillery, which Joe Sheridan originally added to his coffee). For an Irish drink, do they also take Connemara Irish whiskey, Redbreast, Kilbeggan? Bushmills? Tullamore Dew and other quality whiskeys. But if whiskey is not available to you, decide for yourself what hot and aromatic (and tasty) alcohol will pair with your coffee.

Irish coffee variety.

In the original Irish coffee recipe, it was brewed from Bewley beans. But if you don’t have this type of coffee, then any freshly ground and freshly brewed coffee will do.
