Irish Coffee Day in January is one of two such events. The second is November 10 and marks the 1952 anniversary of Irish Coffee arriving in the United States and becoming one of the world’s most beloved cocktails.
The original recipe for Irish Coffee goes like this:
“Cream as rich as an Irish brogue;
coffee as strong as a friendly hand;
sugar sweet as the tongue of a rogue;
and whiskey smooth as the wit of the land.”
Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco was the first to serve Irish Coffee on November 10, 1952. Joe Sheridan, a bartender, is the mixologist. Stanton Delaplane is the journalist who discovered the drink in Ireland and brought the secret formula back to the US.
The original Irish Coffee is believed to have been first served at the flying boat terminal in Foynes, Ireland, sometime during the winter of 1943.
