Irish coffee

Ms. Banks developed the Cool Vanilla Latte with Bacardi s Vanila, a kind of Starbucks-generation Irish coffee, for Lamu in Manhattan. 

The world s top brands of liqueurs and speciality products are products from companies like De Kuyper, Berentzen, Bols, and Marie Brizard. Famous brands are Kahlua (coffee liqueur), Bailey s Original Irish Cream, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Amaretto, and Sambuca as well as the bitter liqueurs or aperitifs like Campari, Jagermeister, Fernet Branca, Ramazzotti, Averna, Unicum, and Suze. 

The ratio of coffee to water is to some degree a matter of personal taste. My mother prefers her coffee a pale clear brown (my Irish husband calls it bogwater ), whereas I like mine almost muddy dark, to be tempered with a lot of hot milk. But a good standard brewing proportion is 8 cups of water (as measured on the coffeemaker s carafe, usually 48 ounces) to a level Vi cup of ground coffee.
