Chef Joe Sheridan, of Foyne's Restaurant in County Clare, is credited with inventing Irish Coffee in the 1940s. I was told the original version was made with Irish Mist liqueur, although Irish Whiskey is more commonly used today. Why not try it both ways and do your own taste test?
These instructions for making traditional Irish Coffee came from one of our readers, Lyn McIntosh-Sherwood of Winter Park, Florida. Lyn got her recipe from her cousin in Paris, who spends 10 days each year fishing in Ireland (his version omits the sugar cubes). |
| Ingredients: |
Original Version: 1 cup hot coffee 1 1/2 ounces Irish Mist liqueur whipped cream for garnish Modern Version: 1 cup hot coffee 1 ounces Irish Whiskey 3 sugar cubes whipped cream for garnish |
| Instructions: |
In order to make this recipe properly the whiskey has to be heated to a high temperature. Pour the coffee in a cup with the desired number of sugar cubes. Then use a spoon turned upside down and pour the HOT whiskey over it so it flows down gently. Top it all with the whipped cream. See photos below for the process. When served, true Irish coffee always has three distinct layers. When served, you first use a straw and sip (a very small amount as it is HOT) a little of the whiskey. Then stir all the ingredients together. 1. 2. |
