An Irish coffee is a classic bar cocktail. But if you’re not drinking right now and miss this cocktail, we’ve created a non-alcoholic Irish coffee for you to enjoy using a spirit replacement, cold brew, chocolate bitters, chilled espresso, and chocolate coffee syrup. For an alcoholic version, try our Irish Cream.
How We Made Non-Alcoholic Irish Coffee
Maybe you’re thinking “An Irish coffee without alcohol is just..coffee.” You are not entirely wrong. But hear us out. Our Non-Alcoholic Irish Coffee replaces the kick of whiskey with the Free Spirits “Spirit of Bourbon” bourbon replacement, which we also used in our Non-Alcoholic Old-Fashioned mocktail recipe, another spin on a classic cocktail. Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters adds an extra bit of decadence to the palate. We layered different kinds of coffee into the drink, including chilled espresso, cold brew, and coffee syrup. This gives the drink more body rather than straight coffee with just a dash of whiskey in it.
