Irish Coffee
The Irish Coffee was created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, chef at Foynes Port near Limerick, Ireland. Foynes was an airbase for transatlantic flights at the time that often carried political or Hollywood figures. Due to its popularity, it is of no surprise that this drink spread so quickly around the world.
What you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey
- 1 oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur
- Brewed coffee, hot
- Garnish: whipped cream
How to make it:
Filling an Irish Coffee mug with hot water, let sit for 2 minutes to heat mug, then discard the water.
Add the whiskey and sugar to the glass, fill with the coffee, and stir.
Top with an inch of unsweetened lightly whipped cream.
Woah! You’ve just made a beautiful drink (we won’t judge if you put it on the ‘gram). For quality cocktail ingredients and at home delivery, go to ShopSK.
