Happy St. Paddy’s. Start the celebration with an Irish Coffee - strong coffee, a shot of Irish whiskey, some sugar and a thick layer of lightly whipped cream - sure to bring out a wee bit o’ the Irish in everyone.

The invention of the Irish coffee dates back to 1943 and is credited to Joe Sheridan a chef at Ireland’s Shannon Airport who is said to have created the drink to warm weary American travelers. Sheridan brought his drink recipe to the US in 1952 and the rest is history.
