Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe (2024)

Our Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe is one of our wonderful Irish recipes! It’s lovely to serve baileys coffee as a solo dessert beverage. Some folks think it has to be kalhua vs baileys–I say why not have both?! Unless you prefer the traditional Irish coffee baileys just by itself, then omit the kahlua.

Today’s Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe is a traditional Irish hot beverage!

Ohhhh kay, I added the Kahlua because why not?! I’m thinking the more-coffee flavor there is the more-better it is! (at least in my book.)

While the most common everyday beverage in Ireland is tea and popular alcoholic beverages include whiskey, beer, and ale. Coffee mixed with whiskey and whipped cream is known throughout the world as “Irish coffee.”

In my recent European travels that included a few days in Dublin, Ireland I made sure to stop and enjoy an Irish Coffee! This is a photo of the Irish Coffee I enjoyed while waiting for my departing flight in the Dublin, Ireland airport. . .

How did Irish Coffee get to the US?

• In 1951, Stanton Delaplane, a reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle, enjoyed a cup of Sheridan’s Irish Coffee at Foynes Airport.

• The reporter flew home to the US and spent a long evening at The Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco attempting to work out the proper balance of ingredients.

• Soon enough, Jack Koeppler, the owner of The Buena Vista, found himself to be the proprietor of the most prosperous saloon in the city practically overnight, thanks to Irish Coffee!

Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is better in coffee, Baileys or Kahlua? ›

However, which one should you choose from the two of them depends on what you typically like to eat/drink. If you're looking for something sweet with chocolate notes, Baileys is your best bet. On the other hand, if you're looking for something creamy with coffee notes, Kahlua is your best bet!

What shot have Kahlua and Baileys? ›

Tips for Making B-52 Shot

They always have an equal pour of three liquors, two of which, Kahlúa and Baileys, are almost always used and in that order. They're always layered in the order the ingredients are given so the heaviest liquor is on the bottom and the lightest on the top.

How do you add Baileys to coffee without curdling? ›

We recommend using fresh black coffee but the choice is yours. You need to let the coffee cool down slightly as if you pour Baileys into boiling hot coffee you will be left with a mess of curdled cream, rather than a delicious drink.

How much Kahlua to add to coffee? ›

INGREDIENTS
  1. 1 oz Kahlúa.
  2. 2 oz Iced Coffee.
  3. 1 oz Milk.

Are Kahlua and Mr. Black the same? ›

Mr Black is a coffee liqueur made using vodka, sugar and cold brew coffee and has half the sugar of Kahlua.

What should you not mix with Baileys? ›

Baileys can be easily mixed with all manner of beverages to make a simple, creamy drink. The only rule is to avoid citrus or anything with a lot of citric acid, which makes it curdle. That means avoid juices and soda.

How do you get the cream to float on an Irish coffee? ›

Empty the glass and pour the sweetened whiskey into the bottom, then stir in the coffee. Take the cream out of the fridge, whisk once, then pour it on over the back of a spoon (this helps to stop it sinking). Grate a little nutmeg over the top and serve immediately.

Why does the cream sink in my Irish coffee? ›

It is a matter of elementary physics that the cream has to be less dense than the coffee/whiskey mixture. So many get to that stage only to find the cream sinking into the coffee mixture. The stronger the coffee, the denser the mixture.

What is a Kahlua and coffee called? ›

When Kahlua is mixed with coffee, the resulting drink is called a "Kahlua and coffee" or a "coffee Kahlua." This drink is typically served hot and can be customized with cream, milk, or other flavors. It is a popular choice for a cozy night in or as a dessert drink after a meal.

Does Kahlua need to be in a dark bottle? ›

If stored in a cool, dark place it may last up to four years! If Kahlua is stored in an area that receives direct sunlight or heat over time the flavor will be affected and potentially lose its rich coffee taste.

What is the difference between Irish coffee and Bailey's and coffee? ›

If you use cream liqueur, you are making a Baileys Coffee. If you use whisky, you are making an Irish Coffee. The difference in the liqueur is the only difference between these two after-dinner drinks.
