This Irish Coffee is how they make it at the Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog (or at least how they say they make it...) and it's the absolute best darn Irish Coffee I've ever had. I know who has the best Irish Coffee?! isn't a question much labored over, you've probably never even bothered to worry about it. Rest assured, this is the best. It's also very simple, there's no weird ingredients, and you can make it in the glass. It is a delicious desert drink sure to please as a nightcap at any party you though, or just for yourself.

Master the Classics: Irish Coffee - National Irish Coffee Day
Foynes airbase in Limerick Ireland was the main hub where Pan Am used to fly their Flying Boats between America and Europe. In the video I say Air Force Base for some odd reason, but it was just an airbase, not sure that the Air Force had anything to do with it. HA HA. Anyway in 1942 a new restaurant opened there as it became a more major hub than originally intended and a young Irish Chef named Joe Sheridan took over the menu. Legend has it that one winter night a flight left Foynes bound for Newfoundland and then on to New York, after battling the storm to no avail the pilot decided to turn back to Foynes. This was uncommon and the restaurant was informed to make the crew and passengers food. So it was on this night that Sheridan decided on a whim to mix up what would become the first Irish coffee: A little brown sugar, a nice pour of whiskey, topped of with coffee and cream floated on top. Legend has it that one of the American passengers exclaimed: Sir, this is delicious! Is it a Brazilian coffee? to which Sheridan famously replied No, It's an Irish Coffee. And thus the Irish Coffee was born and made into a regular component of the menu at Foynes. I don't know how true the above is, but it is the story and it's as good a story about a cocktail as ever has been told!
That's only half the story though because it the Irish Coffee may never have garnered international acclaim if it wasn't for an American journalist named Stanton Delaplane who happened to have the drink at Foynes. He loved the drink so much he brought the recipe over to a barman named Jack Koeppler at The Buena Vista Cafe. It was here that the Irish Coffee was made into an international hit, and a lot of the reason people think this drink originated (and in a way it did) in San Francisco. The glassware traditional to this drink, the Georgian Punch Glass which we are using here was decided at the Buena Vista as was the presentation. In practice, when I serve these at the bar, I'm using a slightly bigger glass with about an ounce more coffee, but for National Irish Coffee day I thought we should stick to tradition! Alrighty guys go fi yourself an Irish Coffee!

The Irish Coffee was first created by a chef/bartender named Joe Sheridan at Shannon airport. During the 1940s Joe prepared a round of spiked coffees for some weary travelers and after one patron asked Is this Brazilian coffee?, Joe replied No, it's Irish coffee!.
A writer sampled the Irish Coffee while transiting through the Irish airport in 1952 and upon his return to San Francisco he shared the drink with his friend Jack Koeppler, then owner of the Buena Vista Cafe. They didn't know the exact recipe so they trialed and tinkered until they replicated the drink. The cafe became famous for their Irish Coffees and now serve 1000s each day!

Today's a good day for an Irish Coffee! St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, I could use some caffein, and it's chilly where I am - so a hot Irish coffee sounds pretty good. However, I know not all of you are somewhere cold, and you may not want a hot drink. Not to worry - we're also going to make a cold brew Irish coffee! For this version we'll be using Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur because its bold coffee flavor holds up to dilution. Hot or cold - if you like coffee and you like cocktails, there's an Irish coffee for you. Cheers!
