Cocktails at Home: Proper Irish Coffee

On September 29th, celebrate National Coffee Day with a Proper Irish Coffee.

Proper No. Twelve paired with coffee ( our favorite is Fire Dept. Coffee (FDC), a veteran-owned business run by active and retired firefighters, also committed to giving back to first responders). With hints of vanilla, honey-like sweetness, and toasted wood, Proper No Twelve perfectly complements the bold flavor of FDC’s Medium Roast. Once mixed with cream and sugar, it makes the most delicious Irish Coffee to toast National Coffee Day this year.
