AI Podcast: The Incredible Story Behind Irish Coffee – A Warm Tribute to National Irish Coffee Day

Settle in with a steaming cup of coffee and a splash of Irish whiskey, because in this episode of Whisky.dk’s podcast, we take you on a journey through the history of the iconic Irish Coffee.

On January 25th, we celebrate National Irish Coffee Day, a day dedicated to this classic drink that perfectly combines warmth, sweetness, and the rich taste of Irish whiskey. But where did Irish Coffee originate? We dive into the story of Joe Sheridan, the chef from Foynes Airport in Ireland, who invented Irish Coffee in 1943 to warm up weary transatlantic passengers on a cold winter night.

You’ll also hear how the legendary journalist Stanton Delaplane brought the recipe to San Francisco, where bartender Jack Koeppler at Buena Vista Café perfected the technique and turned Irish Coffee into a worldwide sensation.

And of course, you can’t listen to an episode about Irish Coffee without getting the perfect recipe! We’ll guide you step by step so you can make an authentic Irish Coffee yourself and celebrate the day in style.

So pour yourself a dram, tune in, and learn how a simple mix of whiskey, coffee, sugar, and cream became one of the world’s most beloved warm cocktails.

Listen now – and let’s celebrate Irish Coffee together!
