Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

When I make an Irish coffee, that's definetly not what makes it Irish. Though by coincidence it does end up 1.27 times the size of a regular one, on account of the additives.

No, "irish coffee" is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.

[-] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Well, yeah. In Ireland it's just coffee.

Would "irish beer" be beer with a small serving of coffee on top?

[-] owsei@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

it may be

but the usability is about being common

if everyone (or almost everyone) used it, it would be useful

tho, I still like metric better because it matches our base

but if ppl around you use irish to mean *1.27, go for it
