The classic Irish Coffee recipe, featuring whiskey, coffee, cream, and sugar, has been reimagined at NYC's Monkey Thief bar. This innovative twist incorporates Vietnamese coffee, pandan liqueur, and egg yolk foam, elevating the simple cocktail to a complex and unique experience. Co-founder David Muhs explains the inspiration behind using these flavors, as they stem from his and his partners' extensive travels throughout Asia. The combination of these ingredients not only maintains the essence of Irish Coffee but adds distinctive and bold flavors, making it a notable drink in their Asian-inspired cocktail menu.
"I discovered pandan through my trips to Asia, I think it was a cooking class in Chiang Mai where I first used it. It's approachable but exciting."
"Vietnamese coffee is an easy solution. And then instead of just putting the typical cream on top, we wanted to mimic that egg coffee, so there's egg yolk."
