This drink is one of the Boothby Top 50 Drinks of the Year 2022 — you can see the full Top 50 here.

“It’s our interpretation of the classic Irish Coffee which obviously comes hot,” says this riff’s creator and Maybe Sammy creative director, Martin Hudak. “But here in our weather conditions we thought a cold version would be more suitable. We also roast and brew our own coffee which is big step towards quality and perfection in this drink.”
