Uppers & Downers Champions

Irish Coffee Cocktail Competition Champion

The idea was to highlight the notes of a great, natural Ethiopian coffee. Really what I wanted to do was highlight the berry notes, the stone fruit notes and fill in those comforting, sweet notes, as well.

We took the spirt of the Irish coffee. It could be a midday pick me up. It could be a nightcap; still light and sessionable. Then translate that to a stereotypical cold coffee drink. We called it the “Lower Manhattan” with the idea of taking the Irish coffee template meets a low ABV Irish coffee Manhattan template.
