History of the origin of the Irish coffee
Now is the time to tell you the story of the appearance of Irish Coffee. In the mid-30s of the 20th century, to fly across the Atlantic, it was necessary to survive the extraordinary stress - for any passenger it was a whole test. Many flights could last even for 16 hours. Almost the most important transiting node of transatlantic airlines at that time was Shannon Airport, in the town of Phoenix, which is located in County Limerick. To ensure that the passengers were more comfortable and comfortable, they opened a cafe in which anyone could pass several hours of tiring. But after the prime minister visited there, thoughts began to open about opening a first class restaurant with a chef and national dishes. The restaurant was opened, and Joseph Sheridan became the head chef in it.
One day in 1942 it was a very cold evening and a large number of people gathered at the airport, who had to return to Foines because their flight was canceled - the weather was bad. Moreover, the passengers had to not only wait a long time for the next aircraft, but also wear all the warmest things. That evening, at the bar, Dzhozef Sheridan was on duty, he watched this picture for several hours, but then he got the idea that it would be able to cheer people up and brighten up the hours of waiting. But he did not offer pure whiskey to people, but simply began adding it to coffee. One passenger, having tasted the taste, asked: "Is this Brazilian coffee?", Joseph thought a little, and then answered: "No, rather, Irish ..."
In 1945, Fynes airport was closed and the era of seaplanes ended. They were replaced by Boeing and liners, and on the wall of the bar there is still a memorial plaque and keeps a legend called Irish Coffee. Now every July 19 in Foines celebrate the birthday of Irish coffee. The baristas of the whole world gather around and compete in the preparation of a drink created by Joseph Sheridan.
There is also another recipe for making coffee in Irish, but it does not have such an alcoholic drink as Irish whiskey, for this variant, the popular liqueurs "Baileys" are used. But such a drink is already called coffee Baileys, which has a very delicate aroma - no lady before him will not stand.
