Irish Coffee: Invented in an airport bar, of all places, by Joe Sheridan, who made it for disembarking passengers one nasty winter day back in the 40's. This is easily the most popular warmed cocktail. Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry. Email addresses are never displayed, but they are required to confirm your comments.

Irish Coffee is excellent, but was not invented at an airport bar. The Buena Vista in San Francisco was where the Irish Coffee was brought to the U.S. and it was before the 40's.

My Great Great Grandfather Monighan, I'm told was drinking Irish coffee long before he came to the U.S. in 1873.

Irish coffee was introduced at the Buena Vista in San Francisco sometime in the 1930's. The Irish know how to keep you warm and happy!

The Buena Vista in San Francisco still makes the best Irish Coffee I have ever had.
