TRADITIONAL IRISH COFFEE



Traditional Irish Coffee image

In 1942, a man named Joe Sheridan invented Irish coffee at his restaurant at Foynes Airport, near today's Shannon Airport. The drink was created to relieve the Irish damp chill for passengers flying to the United States. Stanton Delaplane, a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, tried Irish coffee at Shannon shortly after the war. He enjoyed it so much that he brought the recipe home. The first Irish coffee in the United States was served at Buena Vista Cafe on November 10, 1952. Soon after, more Irish coffee was being consumed in San Francisco than Ireland. This drink might be responsible for single-handedly saving Irish whiskey. Irish coffee consists of coffee, sugar, Irish whiskey, and soft whipped cream. The drink traditionally does not have a maraschino cherry or green creme de menthe on top.

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon sugar
4 -5 ounces hot coffee
soft whipped cream

Steps:

  • Place whiskey and sugar in a warm coffee mug. Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Pour hot coffee into the mug, the layer a dollop of soft whipped cream on top.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. To make soft whipped cream yourself, take heavy cream and whip it just until it thickens. You do not want to whip the cream to the point where it forms peaks. Slainte!

Tips:

  • Use freshly brewed hot coffee for the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality Irish whiskey, such as Jameson or Bushmills.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff and fluffy. This will help it to stay on top of the coffee.
  • Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
  • Serve immediately while the coffee is hot and the cream is still fluffy.

Conclusion:

Traditional Irish coffee is a delicious and warming beverage that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of coffee, whiskey, cream, and sugar, Irish coffee is a surefire way to please a crowd. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Irish coffee a try. You won't be disappointed!
