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:
- For an authentic Irish Coffee experience, use a traditional Irish whiskey like Jameson or Bushmills. Other Irish whiskeys can be used, but these are the most popular and widely available brands.
- Use freshly brewed, strong coffee. This will give your Irish Coffee a more robust flavor.
- Use high-quality cream. Heavy cream or whipped cream are both good choices. Avoid using milk, as it will make the Irish Coffee too thin.
- Don't over-whip the cream. You want it to be light and fluffy, not stiff and whipped. The cream should slowly melt into the coffee, creating a marble effect.
- Serve your Irish Coffee immediately. This is a hot drink that is best enjoyed while it's still warm.
Conclusion:
Irish Coffee is a classic cocktail that is perfect for a cold night or a special occasion. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With its rich, creamy flavor and warming whiskey, Irish Coffee is sure to please everyone.
So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive drink, give Irish Coffee a try. You won't be disappointed.
