- No amaretto liqueur? Try almond liqueur, coffee liqueur or chocolate liqueur.
The glass
Serve this one in an irish coffee mug. The Irish Coffee mug is, unsurprisingly, primarily used for serving Irish Coffees. Unlike a standard coffee or tea mug, it's made from clear glass and features a squat stem and base that elevate the drink off the bar or table.
