Okay, here are seven famous coffee drinks that people love so much they became popular around the globe. The important question is have you tried them all. This video is sponsored by Standard. Irish coffee. Irish coffee is a classic coffee cocktail made by combining hot filter coffee with Irish whiskey and sugar then topping it with a layer of lightly whipped cream. The warm coffee and whiskey blend is sipped through the cold rich cream making a unique contrast of flavors and temperatures. First step is to make filter coffee. We'll use an AeroPress and preheat the goblet style glass with hot water. The basic recipe for Irish coffee consists of four parts of filter coffee, two teaspoons of sugar, one part of whiskey, stir well until the sugar melts and one part of cream poured over a spoon to keep the visual separation. Now if you want to learn more about Irish coffee check out the video tutorial we made with our friend Affogato is an Italian coffee dessert that consists of scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of espresso. The hot coffee melts the cold ice cream creating a deliciously rich and cream combination of flavors and temperatures. There are only two ingredients vanilla ice cream and a shot of espresso. A simple recipe can be two parts of gelato and one part of espresso. Something like 50 grams of ice cream and a single shot of espresso would do. A cool cup of glass will help you slow down the ice cream's melting to keep the Affogato's temperature contrast for longer. Our friend James Hoffman made a full video on making Affogato at home so check this out for more information. Frappe. Frappe is an ice coffee drink from Greece typically made by blending cheap instant coffee with cold water, sugar and ice cubes. Serve in a tall glass and sip through the straw. A modern and more popular drink in Greece nowadays is Freddo Espresso. We choose this fresh double espresso instead of instant coffee. We'll prepare both. For Frappe we use specialty instant coffee mixed with cold water, sugar if you prefer and blend it together with handheld frother for several minutes. For Freddo Espresso we use double espresso poured over ice and mixed with handheld frother. Then we fill the tall glass with ice, pour a frothy coffee drink over it and add a straw to mix. Unlike traditional espresso Frappe or Freddo Espresso is made to be drunk slowly. Sip through the straw and enjoy how ice slowly melts with coffee. I mean to be honest one of my favorite ways of drinking espresso. Before we get into next drink it's time to say Happy Birthday Sundar!

Now let's get back to making coffee. Dirty coffee. Dirty coffee is a trendy coffee drink popular across specialty cafes in Southeast Asia. In its essence dirty coffee is hot espresso on cold milk served in a glass. A trick to keep espresso and milk layer separate and just slowly blending is to use a thicker and very cold milk. You often mix full-fat milk with condensed milk or heavy cream to achieve that but we use partially condensed milk from Milbok that nicely mix with coffee but doesn't overpower it. We use a nice simple glass that we fill in with 130 grams of chilled Milbok and then pour a single shot of espresso over the milk. It's served with no ice, no straw or spoon. You don't stir it to experience a dynamic interplay of temperatures and flavors as you sip through the cup. Recently we made a full video about dirty coffee so if you want to learn more about it check it out. Flat white. Flat white is a milk espresso drink from Australia and New Zealand but you can find it on the menu of most specialty cafes around the world. Compared to traditional cappuccino it often has more prominent coffee flavor, a smooth texture with thin layer of microphone on top and often latte art. Typical recipe would be putting a double shot of espresso into a ceramic cup, steaming full-fat milk to velvety texture ensuring it's smooth and without large bubbles. Then pouring the steamed milk over the espresso aiming to create a creamy texture with a thin layer of microphone on top. If you look at the cup there shouldn't be any bubbles, flat surface. If the barista is skilled not like me you can expect some beautiful latte art design on the top. Warning! Flat white can mean so many different things in different countries so rather check with your barista. In Czech Republic for instance it's often served in glass. Vietnamese coffee is strong coffee brewed using traditional metal drip filter called Fin. Often using Robusta coffee bean served over sweetened condensed milk. This method creates a rich bold flavor that balances the intense coffee with creamy sweetness of the condensed milk. You can drink it as it is but what's even more popular is pouring it over ice into a tall glass to have a refreshing iced version. Here is a simple recipe. Add 30 grams of sweetened condensed milk to the cup. Prepare a metal dripper and add 25 grams of ground coffee. Add an upper filter and fill in about 100 grams of hot water. Now enjoy how coffee is dripping into condensed milk. It can easily take 5 to 10 minutes. Then stir it well and pour it into a tall glass filled with ice. This is the recipe we learned in Prague's Vietnamese Café Cafe Fin and you can watch the whole video on our YouTube channel. Espresso tonic. Espresso tonic is a double shot of espresso poured over tonic water with ice. It famously originates in Sweden where as their signature drink called Café Tonic since 2007. Then it spread all over Europe and States as a refreshing coffee drink with exciting visuals. Here is a simple recipe. Fill a big glass all the way to the rim with ice. Pour over a good tonic and let it sit whilst you are preparing the espresso. In our case we use a tonic syrup from our friends at the recipe mix with soda instead. Prepare espresso and pour the shot gently over the ice and serve it straight away. You can enjoy layers blending or stir it to have a complex taste mix before sipping through it. There are many versions of this refreshing coffee drink and we explore them all with our friend Tomo Latsa in the video you can find on our channel.
