Best 5 Authentic Irish Coffee Recipes
Irish coffee is a hot beverage containing coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar, topped with cream. It is both a coffee drink and a cocktail, traditionally served in a clear glass mug or an Irish coffee glass that can hold 6 to 8 fluid ounces (180 to 240 ml). It is a popular alcoholic beverage in Ireland, typically consumed after dinner or as a nightcap. Historically, it was served to passengers on cold mornings during flights from Ireland to North America, but now it can be enjoyed at home as a warm and comforting drink.

TRADITIONAL IRISH COFFEE
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.

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 coffee for the best flavor.
- Heat the Irish whiskey gently to release its aromas.
- Use a good quality whipped cream that holds its shape well.
- Garnish with grated nutmeg or cinnamon for a festive touch.
- Serve the Irish coffee immediately while it's hot.
