Irish Coffee was originally created in 1942 by an Irish chef/barman, Joe Sheridan, as a warm and welcoming drink for the first American tourists who arrived in Ireland via transatlantic passenger airplanes.

The Shannon International Airport (then called the Shannon Airport Foynes), in Shannon, Ireland, has served Irish coffee as the official welcoming beverage since 1942.

This recipe is true to Chef Joe Sheridan’s original recipe.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh brewed black coffee
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) Irish whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon lightly whipped cream

  • 2
    Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved; stir in the Irish whiskey.
  • 3
    Top with lightly whipped cream, being careful not to blend cream with the coffee/whiskey. Serve hot!
