Belfast Coffee

After hundreds of years of illegal production, poitin (known as the Original Irish Spirit) was made legal in 1997.

Dave Mulligan, owner of Bar 1661, the world’s first poitin-focused cocktail bar located in Dublin serves this classic riff on Irish Coffee using Mad March Hare Irish Poitin, one of the first premium Irish poitins to be made commercially following legalization.
