Third wave coffee is infiltrating the drinks cabinet. Irish

brand Black Twist has recently launched a spirit called

Hard Coffee, cold brewing finely ground coffee in Irish

whiskey to create a drink with less sweetness and

more character. Says founder Conor Coughlan, ‘It can

be used to create a range of coffee cocktails that go

beyond the Espresso Martini.’ His recommendations

include Irish Cold Brew Martini (adding Irish whiskey,

stout and whipped cream) and Cold Brew Spritz (adding

Aperol and tonic water). And it’s not just whiskey

getting a new coffee hit. Faith & Sons has made a coffee

gin and Patrón a coffee tequila, Chase has created an

espresso vodka, while Australian brand Mr Black blends

cold brew coffee with 14 distilled botanicals.
