Saxony Line I-XIX
Last time we discovered that Starbucks was going to serve alcohol at a few select stores. This was so popular that we received a "like" on our Facebook post! We would like to personally thank Najm Hichri for liking our post. It is much appreciated. Since it was a liked post we thought we would continue to explore what the alcohol and Starbucks coffee mixture would bring to the world.
Bob in anticipation posted that he hopes that the alcohol will be served near him.
The Swedes and the Irish have long been known to mix coffee and alcohol to good effect.
The Swedes introduced coffee to vodka in the most basic and excellent of recipes I have ever seen back in 1795. It read like this "Put a coin in a cup. Pour on coffee till you can no longer see the coin. Pour on vodka till you can see the coin again.” Considering that the Swedes were slowly getting the snot kicked out of them by the upstart Russian Tsars in the late 18th century it is no surprise that they turned to drinking Vodka with their coffee. That way they could have a pick me up as they were getting knocked down.
The Irish though are the true connoisseurs of alcoholic coffee. January 25th is National Irish Coffee day. So to celebrate I will be combining coffee, whiskey and cream to commiserate with the Irish in their times of austerity. Afterwards I will throw back a pint of Guinness and take in a hurling match.
