Coffee is a drink loved by many, as well as various cocktails based on it. And often coffee makers buy all kinds of accessories for making their adored drink - coffee machines, Turks, French presses and, of course, beautiful coffee utensils. After all, in order to appreciate the excellent aroma and taste of coffee, you need a suitable container. For example, an ayrish glass (glass), in which hot cocktails are served - grogs, punches , mulled wine, crocheted, etc.
Got its name this glass due to the widely known today cocktail Irish Coffee, invented by Joe Sheridan in 1943. But this bartender just started adding Irish whiskey to the coffee to warm the chilled visitors to his establishment.
What is a Irish coffee glass?
As this dish is used mainly for hot drinks, it is made of heat-resistant glass. The handle of the glass is made of it, so as not to burn yourself accidentally on the hot walls of the glass.
The glass for Irish coffee has a graceful shape. He keeps on a short stalk, usually with a so-called skirt. The volume of the ayrish of the glass varies from 180-200 to 240-360 ml (this figure depends on the size of the glass, and also on the manufacturer who make the dishes somewhat different in capacity).
The main reason why people buy an ayrish glass is not even that they often cook and drink Irish coffee, but the exceptional convenience of such utensils. Thanks to its stable leg and ergonomic handle, the glass is comfortable to hold in the hand, sipping a hot or warm (for an amateur) coffee, in general, of any kind. It can serve also cold coffee cocktails, and ordinary espresso or americano. And being made of transparent glass, the glass is favorably different from a porcelain cup, where there is no opportunity to admire the beautiful color of freshly brewed coffee.
