The colloquial version of the Irish coffee is also sometimes referred to any alcoholic coffee drink. Irish Coffee was introduced to this world by Joe Sheridan in 1942. He was a bartender at Foynes Airbase in the southwest Ireland. On a miserably cold wet day of that year, a group of passengers had stopped at Sheridan’s bar across the Atlantic Ocean after their cold eighteen-hour journey. Joe has served them with the drink made of hot coffee, spiked with the whiskey and topped with the whipped cream as to warm his guests.

According to the legends, one of the passengers has asked Joe if the beverage was a Brazilian coffee and to which he laughed and responded that it was an Irish coffee. Jack Koeppler, the owner of the Buena Vista bar in San Francisco along with the travel writer Stanton Delaplane brought Joe’s famous Irish coffee to the States ten years later. From then on the drink has soon spread all over the nation and it’s been a favourite drink ever since.
