Add sour cream and beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Add coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; beat on medium until combined, about 1 minute.

Remove roasting pan with cheesecake from oven. Remove cheesecake from roasting pan and set aside to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
