The way this is going to work is simple. If you have a problem, hopefully about, but not confined to, alcohol, you hit us up with an email. Then, myself and the nefarious bunch of co-conspirators I call coworkers will give out what we consider sound council. Which could lead you to require more sound council, this time of the legal kind. Don’t be shy now, we want to hear from you.

So I’m watching some guy set up a fancy coffee station in the front of the store. Now you’ll be able to have a sweet cup of steaming joe while you poke about for your evening libation. This has gotten me thinking about how I like to liquor up my coffee, and I’ve decided to share my variants of Irish coffee here. Mind you, I drink my coffee black, no sugar.
The simplest is pouring a healthy dollop of Coole Swann straight in and go to town. Coole Swann is an Irish whiskey based cream liquor that tastes like heaven in your mouth. I do believe it was made solely for the purpose of drinking with coffee. Be warned, this is the sort of doctored up coffee you’ll find yourself drinking at 10 am if you’re not careful.
My primary mode of boozing up that delicious bean juice is a little more dangerous. Throw some Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate vodka in, then follow it up with their Double Espresso. Each shot of Double Espresso has the caffeine equivalent of a cup of coffee already, so you’ll be feeling energetic, and a little tipsy, in no time.
Coffee is a great base for cocktails, and I heartily encourage experimentation. If you hit on a good combo, drop me a line and I’ll try it out.
-Out.
