In the middle of a Wisconsin winter, sometimes an Irish coffee is the perfect escape from the cold. The strong, warm mix is a beautifully customizable, sugary, creamy treat, perfect for a cold day. Turns out Jan. 25 is National Irish Coffee Day – that’s our kind of holiday!
We found nine bars around the state that will be serving the drink that day, made with Keeper’s Heart Whiskey, an award winning whiskey, based in Minnesota that’s taking the whiskey world by storm, combining the best of Irish and American whiskeys.
