Hey! Nope, Irish coffee doesn’t cook off the alcohol, so you'll still feel the whiskey kick! Thanks for bringing it up; glad to clear this up!

Good question! The alcohol in Irish coffee doesn’t fully cook off since it’s added after brewing. So you get that nice coffee kick with a hint of whiskey. Perfect for a cozy, flavorful treat!

Most of the alcohol in whiskey cooks off, but some traces might remain; if you’re cautious about alcohol content, consider simmering the dish longer or using a lower-alcohol substitute.
