Background story

Irish Coffee: Missing the Unfortunate Person

The inventor of Irish Coffee was a bartender at Dublin Airport. Because transatlantic planes often refuel at this airport, passengers like to drink a cup of Irish coffee when they get off the plane to rest, so it spreads to all parts of the world along with flights.

This bartender made it for a beautiful stewardess.

The bartender met this girl at Dublin Airport. It might have been love at first sight. The bartender liked the stewardess very much. He thought she was like Irish whiskey, rich and mellow. But every time she came to the bar, she always ordered different coffees according to her mood, never a cocktail.

The bartender is good at making cocktails, and he really hopes that she can drink a cocktail that he personally made for her. Later, he finally thought of a way to combine the Irish whiskey that made him feel like a girl with coffee to become a new drink. Then name it Irish Coffee and add it to the Menu, hoping that girls will discover it.

It's a pity that this girl is different from you. She is not a careful person, so she has never discovered Irish coffee. The bartender never reminded her, he just did his job at the bar and looked forward to the girl coming every once in a while. Then she finally discovered Irish coffee and ordered it.

Is it that simple?

Simple? Do you know how much effort the bartender puts into creating Irish coffee?

Basically, it is very difficult to completely integrate Irish whiskey and coffee.

The first is the ratio of whiskey to coffee. Whiskey is about a little more than an ounce, more than 30 c. c. about.

Five ounces of coffee, 150 c. c. , the ratio is about one to five. Do you know how many times this has been tested? The girl has never ordered a cocktail, so she probably doesn't like the taste of alcohol, but whiskey is a strong drink that irritates the throat. Therefore, he had to find a way to lighten the flavor of the wine without reducing its aroma and taste. Therefore, in the process of baking cups, the heat is very important.

Irish coffee has strict requirements on the choice of whiskey, the ratio of coffee to whiskey, as well as cups and cooking methods, but the choice of coffee is relatively casual, as long as it is strong and hot.

Why is this happening?

In addition to the fact that the girl does not particularly like coffee, it also represents another form of tolerance. No matter how picky you are about whiskey, you are very tolerant when it comes to coffee. The bartender may just want to make her a cup of Irish coffee, and he doesn't care whether she can understand his hard work and persistence, or whether she will be moved.

Do you know how long it took from the time the bartender invented Irish coffee to the time the girl ordered it?

A whole year.

When he made Irish coffee for her for the first time, he shed tears because of his excitement. And because he was afraid of being seen by her, he wiped away the tears with his fingers, and then secretly drew a circle on the rim of the Irish coffee cup with his tears. So the first sip of Irish coffee tastes like the fermentation of longing that has been suppressed for a long time. And she became the first customer to order Irish coffee.
The stewardess liked Irish coffee very much and would order a cup of Irish coffee whenever she stayed at Dublin Airport. Over time, the two of them became very familiar with each other. The flight attendant would tell him interesting stories about various countries in the world, and the bartender would teach her how to make Irish coffee. Their story didn't end until one day when she decided not to be a stewardess anymore and told him about Farewell.
Farewell?
Farewell, goodbye without seeing you again, is not the same as Goodbye. The last time he made Irish coffee for her, he asked her: Want some tear drops?
Because he still hopes that she can experience the fermenting taste of longing.
After she returned home to San Francisco, one day she suddenly wanted to drink Irish coffee. She searched all the coffee shops but couldn't find it. Later she learned that Irish coffee was created just for her by the bartender, but she still didn't understand why the bartender asked her: "Want some tear drops?" Not long after, she opened a coffee shop and sold Irish coffee. Gradually, Irish coffee began to become popular in San Francisco.This is the reason why Irish coffee first appeared in Dublin, Ireland, but became popular in San Francisco.
After the stewardess left, the bartender also started asking customers to order Irish coffee, so people who drank Irish coffee at Dublin Airport would think that Irish coffee was a cocktail. And people who drink it in San Francisco cafes will certainly think that Irish coffee is coffee.
So Irish coffee is both a cocktail and coffee, which is a beautiful mistake in itself.
Okay, the story is over.
Do you know why no one ordered Irish coffee for a whole year, and the stewardess finally became the first person to order Irish coffee?
Because the bartender made a double coffee order, only the coffee order given to the stewardess when ordering coffee had Irish coffee on it, but not on the other coffee orders, so other customers could not order Irish coffee.
It is also because of this story that Irish coffee has a nickname, Angel's Tears.
