As spring, and soon summer, is upon us Swedes we thought this recipe of a cold Irish coffee was fitting. Especially so as we also wanted to try the recently released Silkie Irish whiskey [https://www.sliabhliagdistillers.com/the-silkie-irish-whiskey/] (new in Sweden that is).

As winter and Christmas is approaching we are more and more looking into warm drinks. A hot cocktail can certainly warm you up after a cold winter walk, maybe in snow or harsh winds. In Sweden we have a long tradition of drinking ”glögg” with is basically warm wine that’s been sweetened and had lots of spices added to it.

A Whisky Sour, a Sazerac, a Rob Roy or maybe even a Penicillin - those are a few of the drinks that whisky usually gets mixed into in our home bar. Whisky can be fantastic as a cocktail ingredient. Often very characteristic, it tends to impact the drink a lot contributing with distinctive flavor and also aromas. There are many great whiskies suited for cocktails; Bulleit and Johnnie Walker to name just a few. But then last week we got to experience whisky in a more neat form, when we had the op
