Review:
A cold Irish Coffee based on poitín, which influences the flavours of the coffee and demerara sugar to add dark chocolate notes, distinguishing this cocktail apart from being a mere Irish Coffee served cold.
Variant:
History:
Adapted from a recipe created circa 2017 by the team, particularly Lukas Etus and Dave Mulligan, at Ladies & Gents bar in Kentish Town, London. Dave Mulligan influenced the use of his Bán Poitín in the recipe and went on to launch his award-winning Bar 1661 in Dublin, where he popularised this cocktail. The Belfast Coffee is now served in other bars across the island of Ireland and as far afield as the USA.
