There is a story about Irish coffee: it is said that the inventor of Irish coffee is a bartender at Dublin airport. One day, the bartender met a beautiful stewardess at Dublin airport and fell in love with her at first sight. What annoys the bartender is that every time the stewardess comes to his bar, she orders coffee, but never drinks. The bartender is good at mixing cocktails, and he really hopes that the stewardess can drink a cocktail prepared for her herself.
Later, he finally figured out a way to combine Irish whiskey and coffee, which he thought were like girls, into a new drink. Then I named it Irish coffee and added it to the menu, hoping the stewardess could find it.
Unfortunately, the stewardess is not a careful person, so Irish coffee has never been found. After a year, the bartender never specifically reminded the stewardess, just doing his job in the bar and expecting the stewardess to come once in a while. Until one day the stewardess finally found the Irish coffee spot.
When this moment finally arrived, the bartender shed tears with excitement. Afraid of being seen by the stewardess, the bartender turned his back on the stewardess, wiped his tears with his fingers, and then secretly drew a circle on the Irish coffee cup with his tears. Therefore, the first taste of Irish coffee is fermented with long-suppressed thoughts.
The stewardess also became the first guest of Irish coffee. Since then, flight attendants have fallen in love with this kind of Irish coffee. As long as they stay at Dublin Airport, they will order a cup of Irish coffee. Over time, the two became acquainted. The stewardess will tell the bartender interesting things around the world, and the bartender will teach the stewardess to make Irish coffee. Until one day, the stewardess decided not to be a stewardess, and finally said goodbye to the bartender, and their story ended.
After returning to San Francisco, one day the stewardess suddenly wanted to drink Irish coffee, but she couldn't find it in all the cafes around. Then the stewardess realized that Irish coffee was specially made for her by the bartender.
After finally realizing the bartender's love for herself, the stewardess didn't go to the bartender again, but opened a cafe and bought Irish coffee. Gradually, Irish coffee became popular in San Francisco. This is why Irish coffee first appeared in Dublin, Ireland, but it is popular in San Francisco.
1, Irish coffee making method
Irish coffee should be put in a special cup. There are three thin lines on the glass of the cup: Irish whiskey is at the bottom of the first line, mandolin coffee is between the second line and the third line, and cream is above the third line (the surface of the cup). White cream represents the purity of love, and a little salt or sugar can be sprinkled on the cream. Salt represents tears and sugar represents sweetness.
(1) Prepare 150ml mandolin coffee first, and then pour sugar and 30ml whisky into the first line of Irish coffee cup.
(2) Heat the wine slowly with a small fire to melt the sugar, and carefully turn the cup continuously to make it evenly heated.
(3) Light the wine with a torch to make the wine smell fragrant.
(4) Pour the coffee into the cup to the second row.
(5) Spray a layer of cream on the coffee surface, and a cup of Irish coffee is finished.
What the author said
Irish coffee has strict requirements on the choice of whisky, the ratio of coffee to whisky, cups and cooking methods, but the choice of coffee is arbitrary, as long as it is strong and hot. After many attempts, the unique mellowness of Mandenin coffee is most suitable for Irish coffee. Compared with 150 ml, siphon is the best choice, and friends who choose hand-punching can punch it thicker than usual. If espresso is selected, two espresso cups (60ml) can be diluted to 150ml with hot water.
