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.

Dairy Tip

When using cream or milk, shake vigorously with ice to properly emulsify and chill. Consider using heavy cream for a richer texture that floats beautifully on layered drinks.

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.

Did You Know?

Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels - these rules are actually US law.
