Irish coffee anyone?

One of my reviewers made the following point: You wouldn't drink Irish coffee on a first date. I disagree. However, I've asked around. It seems that opinion varies.

The scenario is this:

Cynthia finds her boss's murdered body in the office late one evening. She's terrified of being done for the crime so she decides to investigate.

Fortuitously, she's due to have dinner with the boss's attractive stepson the following night. He's a suspect too but she goes along anyway. She wants to suss him out. Also, murder or no murder, he's still GORGEOUS.

Dinner goes well. There's a spark, albeit slightly dampened by the spectre of his stepfather's corpse. At the end of the delicious, champagne-soaked meal they have Irish coffees.

Yes or no?

According to my reviewer, this just SO is not romantic. If anyone reading has views on this, let's have 'em.

(And if not Irish coffee, then what? Flaming zambucca? Tequila? A pint of Carlsberg?)
