Irish Coffee
Irish Coffee
Irish Coffee was created in 1943 by chef Joe Sheridan at the Shannon Airport restaurant in Ireland to help warm up travelers on cold winter nights. It is made with Irish whiskey, hot coffee, fresh cream, and sugar. In 1952, American journalist Stanton Delaplane brought it to the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco, where it gained popularity in the United States.
