The drink

by Danette Breitenbach
of the Irish
Think Irish drinks and two spring to mind instantly: Guinness and
Irish Coffee. Guinness, with its blackness, is not for everyone and
brewing it is best left to the professionals.
On the other hand the Irish had the right idea when
they mixed together their famous whiskey and hot black
coffee. Worldwide it is a drink enjoyed by many and any-
one can add splash of whipped cream to turn a coffee
into something more spectacular.
The first Irish Coffee is said to have been made in the
winter of 1934 when a flight from Foyne, Ireland to
New York (US) was forced to return to the Port of
Foyne because of bad weather. The terminal building
restaurant chef, Joe Sheridan, offered the tired passen-
gers the coffee drink mixed with Irish whiskey. When an
American passenger asked if it was Brazilian coffee, the
chef answered, “That’s Irish coffee.”
In 1952, Jack Koeppler, owner of Buena Vista in
San Francisco brought the Irish Coffee recipe back
to the United States and made it famous. Every year,
the Foynes Flying Boat Museum holds an Irish Coffee
Festival in August complete with an Irish Coffee making
competition.
