Irish Coffee and History

December 28, 2014

On a recent trip to Ireland, after a visit to the Foynes Flying Boats museum our tour guide with the willing help of my brother-in-law demonstrated how to make a true Irish Coffee. I find Irish Coffee to be absolutely delicious, given my undying love for two wonderful things: coffee and whiskey! There, you learned something sordid and interesting about me.

1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tsp. raw sugar
1 jigger of whiskey
¼ cup whipped cream*
