Irish Coffee: The Controversy Resolved
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Irish Pubs in San Francisco have claimed that it was they that invented Irish Coffee. After much research their claim has been refuted. Verification of the facts was contributed by none other than Michael Collins, the 28 year veteran bar tender at Shannon Airport. This report is authenticated by his signature to the left of the glass pictured here.
From 1939 to 1945 air travel from America was by flying boats that landed at Foynes, Co. Limerick after a long 18 hour flight. The passengers, chilled by the boat trip from the seaplane to the terminal, sometimes in cold, damp weather conditions, appreciated a hot cup of coffee or tea on arrival at the terminal. Brendan O'Regan, then the youthful manager of the Foynes catering service believed that passengers would welcome something stronger. Mr. Joseph Sheridan, the head Chef at Foynes, rose to the occasion, developing after some research what is now known as Irish Coffee.
A plaque marking the achievement has been erected at Shannon Airport and Irish Coffee is increasingly enjoyed throughout the world.
Original Shannon Recipe
Heat a stemmed whiskey goblet.
Pour in one shot of Irish whiskey.
Add three sugar cubes.
Fill with strong black coffee to within one inch of top. Stir gently.
Top off to the brim with heavy cream slightly aerated.
Important: Do not stir after adding cream, as the true flavor is obtained by drinking the coffee and whiskey through the cream.
Note: American whipping cream has an additive to increase shelf life. This detracts from ability to stay on top of mixture. Irish cream is delivered daily and has no additive. If you can obtain untreated cream from a farmer you will produce a better Irish Coffee.
Slainte !!!
C'est sur qu'on se chicanera toujours sur la vraie reponse. C'est comme la poutine qui a ete invente a Victoriaville par mon copain un soir tres de bonne humeur. Warwick et Drummondville clament la meme invention.
