Irish coffee's manifest themselves in a variety of different ways. At its core, one adds some Irish liqueur to some coffee with your desired amount of sweetness, then one garnishes as one would a latte, and there you have it: Boozfefe

I think calling something an Irish coffee can mean anything between a shot of Jameson in a pot of bean juice, to a whole masterpiece of Irish roots tantalizing wrapped in a caffeinated liquid package.

You do you, of course, but if you're interested in how Food & Wine did it, here it is!

I'll say that although Food & Wine calls this the "Perfect Irish Coffee" I disagree since I like more coffee in my coffee, ya know? Then again, I was using cold brew.
