Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Preheat your Irish coffee glass with hot water before building your drink. This keeps your coffee hotter longer for maximum enjoyment.
Fresh Citrus Tip
Always squeeze fresh citrus juice rather than using bottled. Roll the fruit on the counter before cutting to release more juice, and strain out seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.
Sweetener Tip
Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.
Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels - these rules are actually US law.
