A Brief History of Irish Coffee
Irish coffee was first created in the 1940s by Joe Sheridan, a chef at Foynes Airport in Ireland. Legend has it that he wanted to offer travelers something to warm them up on a chilly night, so he mixed coffee with Irish whiskey and topped it with cream.
The drink quickly gained popularity and later made its way to the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco, where it became an international sensation. Today, it remains one of the most beloved Irish beverages around the world.
