Irish cocktails

Ireland would not be Ireland without the charm of its Irish pubs and its beverages forged over centuries of tradition and culture. The country possesses exceptional expertise in this field and knows how to subtly combine flavours and aromas… This is particularly true of Irish cocktails, drinks that are hugely popular in Ireland, but also beyond the island’s borders. A closer look at these drinks that have made a creative and inspired country’s reputation!

Drinks that rely on expertise and tradition

Ireland always knows how to showcase its traditional products by combining them with simplicity and generosity! Proof of this can be found in a legendary cocktail: Irish coffee. This drink was invented in Foynes, a small Irish village that served as a landing site for transatlantic seaplane flights between 1939 and 1945.

The flight attendants had found a way to relax stressed passengers by serving them coffee enhanced with a drop of whiskey and a little sugar. This gave rise to the famous Irish coffee, which has since also been served with a little cream.

The success of this cocktail is so impressive that it is served in most bars and pubs around the world! Australia, England, Germany, the United States, France, Canada… Irish coffee has become a universal cocktail!

But it is not the only one to have won over the palates of pub patrons. Ireland has other flagship cocktails, such as Black Velvet and Hot Whiskey!
