National Irish Coffee Day
With a mug of strong coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and sugar, topped with a layer of cream, National Irish Coffee Day takes place each year on January 25th.
On a cold, wet day in 1942, weary travelers to Shannon's tiny Shannon Airport discovered their way to a restaurant and chef Joe Sheridan. He served them hot coffee, spiked with whiskey, and topped with whipped cream to warm his guests. He was sure to please them. The passengers asked if the beverage was Brazilian coffee. The passengers asked if it was Brazilian coffee. It was Irish coffee, Sheridan replied that it was Irish coffee.

After having it at Shannon Airport, Stanton Delaplane, a travel blogger, brought Irish coffee to the United States.
Delaplane introduced the idea to the Buena Vista Cafe on November 10, 1952. After a lot of trial and error, sampling, and a trip back to Ireland for a glimpse of the original, Delaplane, along with Buena Vista's Jack Koeppler and George Freeberg, were able to recreate the delectable coffee and the technique for floating the cream on top of the coffee.
How to make a genuine irish coffee
Fill 2/3rds full of freshly brewed coffee, starting with a warm glass. Stir in a heaping teaspoon of sugar. Add 1 ounce of Irish whiskey to your order..
The difficult part of adding the cream so it floats is the tricky part. According to the Buena Vista website, and at the suggestion of San Francisco's mayor, a dairyman, cream that is 48 hours old, is the best.. Some people, on the other hand, prefer whipping cream (not whipped cream) that has been lightly whipped or foamed.
Pour the foamy cream over the back of a spoon as the coffee has stopped swirling from stirring in the sugar.
