Cocktail Codex: Fundamentals, Formulas, Evolutions
Alex Day, David Kaplan, and Nick Fauchald - 2018
Cocktail Codex classifies the Irish Coffee as a Flip variation and specifically calls for whipping the cream to soft peaks rather than just floating liquid cream — reasoning that the heat of the drink unravels cream's structure, so the stiffer texture holds up longer and avoids seeping into the liquid unappealingly.
