January 25th is Irish Coffee
January 25th is Irish Coffee Day, a day that celebrates this iconic drink known for combining hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and a creamy layer of whipped cream. Irish coffee is enjoyed around the world as a comforting and sophisticated drink, perfect for special occasions or to warm up on a cold day.
