Irish coffee, a delightful blend of coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream, is a classic beverage that I was first introduced to in college back when I could drink coffee at night and still sleep. Those days are long gone for me. But I still think an Irish coffee is the perfect compliment to a holiday lunch (like Thanksgiving<\/a> or Christmas<\/a>) and it’s perfect for brunch when you’re not in the mood for a mimosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tale of Irish coffee begins in the early 1940s when a transatlantic flight was forced to return to Foynes, a small airport located on the west coast of Ireland, due to bad weather. To provide a warm and comforting welcome, Joe Sheridan, the chef at the airport’s restaurant, decided to blend some of Ireland’s finest ingredients \u2013 Irish whiskey and freshly brewed coffee \u2013 creating the now-iconic Irish coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
