This story came in handy last week when the temperature hit 3 degrees outside MQHQ in Rosedale:
The perfect recipe for Irish coffee, and the real story behind who invented it. (www.IrishCentral.com):
“Irish coffee was invented by Limerick chef Joseph Sheridan in 1942 to welcome Americans visiting Ireland. The travelers arrived in the west of Ireland on a cold winter night, so Sheridan added whiskey to their coffee to warm them up. A San Francisco Chronicle travel writer, Stanton Delaplane, brought the recipe back to the U.S. after drinking Irish coffee at Shannon Airport. It was first served at the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco on Nov. 10, 1952.”
Ingredients: 1½ oz. of Clontarf Irish whiskey; 5-7 oz. hot coffee or 2 shots of espresso; 1-2 tsp brown sugar; fresh whipped cream. Drink!
