Irish Coffee" tells the story of how a bartender invented Irish coffee by blending whiskey into hot coffee for the girl he loved. The aroma of coffee paired with the strength of spirits warms you from the palm of your hand all the way to the bottom of your heart on a cold night. A Taipei girl of one-quarter Irish descent, just because she heard this story, insisted on brewing authentic Irish coffee, and serving it only after twelve o'clock at night. Thus, love, on a rainy night, was inspired to be born by the gentle aroma of coffee. A small café, a small lamp, a man in a foreign land, met a girl. His thoughts of her, from now on, can no longer be distinguished from the hope of love, or the desire for coffee ......

The story of the hero and a girl with Irish ancestry will make pure Irish coffee until the process of falling in love with the process of the practice of the coffee mentioned that the pure Irish coffee must have Irish whiskey. Most cafes use Scotch whiskey, but in comparison, Irish whiskey is not as strong as Scotch and blends better with the coffee, and the roasting cup is also very important, and it's best served hot, not stirred. Most cafes focus on the ambience and the cups and trays, and they tend to skip the roasting cups and use Scotch whiskey for the sake of safety and economy, so that it's still wine, and coffee is still coffee, and the coffee is still coffee, and the coffee is still coffee, so you want to have a good cup of pure Irish coffee, so you want to have a good cup of pure Irish coffee. So it's not easy to get a cup of pure Irish coffee

The story about it is quite touching (specially compiled by Tsai Chi-Heng)

The inventor of Irish coffee was a bartender at Dublin Airport. Because trans-Atlantic planes often refueled at this airport, and travelers enjoyed a cup of Irish coffee when they disembarked from their planes, it spread around the world as they flew.

The bartender made it for a beautiful stewardess.

The bartender met this girl at the Dublin airport and it was probably love at first sight, the bartender really liked the stewardess. He thought she was like Irish whiskey, strong and mellow. But every time she came to the bar, she always ordered a different coffee to suit her mood, never a cocktail.

The bartender was good at making cocktails, and he wanted her to have one of the cocktails he made for her. Then he finally figured out how to make a new drink by combining Irish whiskey, which he felt like a girl, with coffee. Then he named it Irish Coffee and added it to the Menu, hoping the girl would find it.

Only the girl, unlike you, wasn't careful and cautious, so she never discovered the Irish Coffee. The bartender never warned her, but just did his job at the bar and expected the girl to stop by every once in a while. Then she finally spotted the Irish Coffee and ordered it.

Is it that simple?

Simple? Do you have any idea how much effort the bartender had to put into creating the Irish Coffee?

Basically, there's a high degree of difficulty involved in completely blending Irish whiskey with coffee.

First, there's the whiskey-to-coffee ratio, which is a little over an ounce of whiskey, about 30 c.c. or so.

Five ounces of coffee, 150 c.c., a ratio of about one to five. Do you know how many trials this has gone through? The girl had never ordered a cocktail before and shouldn't like the taste of alcohol too much, but whisky was a throat-stinging spirit. So he had to find a way to lighten the flavor without diminishing the aroma and taste. That's why the heat is so important in toasting the glass.

Irish coffee on the choice of whiskey, coffee and whiskey ratio, as well as the cup and cooking method requirements are very strict, but the only choice of coffee is more casual, as long as it is strong and hot.

Why is this?

Besides the fact that the girl doesn't have a particular favorite coffee, it also represents another form of tolerance. No matter how picky one may be about whiskey, one is tolerant when it comes to coffee. The bartender probably just wants to make her a cup of Irish coffee and doesn't care if she appreciates his heart and obsession or if she's touched yikes.

Do you know how long it took from the bartender's invention of Irish coffee to the girl's order of Irish coffee?

A whole year.

When he made Irish coffee for her for the first time, he shed tears out of excitement. For fear of being seen by her, he wiped the tears away with his fingers and then secretly drew a circle around the mouth of the Irish coffee cup with his tears. That's why the first sip of Irish coffee tasted like the fermented flavor of longing that has been suppressed for a long time. And she became the first customer to order Irish coffee.

The stewardess liked the Irish coffee so much that she ordered it whenever she stopped at Dublin Airport. Over time, the two of them became well acquainted, with the stewardess telling him interesting stories from around the world and the bartender teaching her how to make Irish coffee. Their story didn't end until one day, when she decided to stop being a flight attendant and told him about Farewell.

Farewell?

Farewell is not the same as Goodbye. That's what he asked her the last time he made her Irish coffee: Want some tear drops?

Because he still wanted her to experience the flavor of festering thoughts.

After she returned home to San Francisco, she suddenly wanted to drink Irish coffee one day, and searched all the cafes but found nothing. She later realized that the bartender had created Irish coffee just for her, but never understood why the bartender had asked her, "Want some tear drops?

The bartender never understood why the bartender had asked her, "Want some tear drops?

The bartender would ask her, "Want some tear drops?"

"Before long, she opened a coffee shop and started selling Irish coffee. Gradually, Irish coffee became popular in San Francisco. This is why Irish coffee first appeared in Dublin, Ireland, but flourished in San Francisco.

After the stewardesses left, the bartenders started letting customers order Irish coffee, so people who drank Irish coffee at the Dublin airport thought it was a cocktail. And people who drink it in San Francisco cafes will, of course, think Irish coffee is coffee.

So the fact that Irish coffee is both a cocktail and a coffee is itself a beautiful mistake.

Okay, end of story.

You know why no one ordered an Irish Coffee for a whole year, and the flight attendant ended up being the first to do so?

Because the bartender made a double list of coffees, and only the one given to the stewardess at the time of ordering had Irish coffee written on it, while the others didn't, so the other customers couldn't order Irish coffee

Also because of this story, there is an alternative name for the Irish coffee, Angel's Tears.

(In fact, there is a version of this story is the end of the tragedy, but the sadness is not as romantic as the coffee itself)
