Barkeep Notes

I find the blender bottle gives just the right consistency for the cream to properly layer on top of the coffee and works better than an electronic hand mixer.

Resist the urge to shortcut with Reddi-wip or similar; it’s just not the same.

Clontarf 1014 may not be the fanciest Irish Whiskey but for some reason it is perfect for the Irish Coffee.
