IRISH COFFEE COCKTAIL – WILD BUCK WHISKEY
Per Wikipedia:
Irish Coffee (Irish: Caife Gaelach) is a Cocktail consisting of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and sugar, stirred and topped with cream. The coffee is dripping through the cream.
Some claim it is the oldest known American cocktail, with origins in pre-Civil War New Orleans, although drink historian David Wondrich disputes this. American instances of published usage of the word cocktail to describe a mixture of spirits, bitters, and sugar can be traced to the dawn of the 19th century.
Different Variations Of Coffee Cocktails Predate the now-classic Irish coffee by at least 100 years.
From the mid-19th century, the Pharisäer and the Fiaker were served in Viennese coffee houses; both were coffee cocktails served in a Glass, topped with whipped cream. The former was also known in northern Germany and Denmark around that time. Around 1900, the coffee cocktail menu in the Viennese cafés also included Kaisermelange, Maria Theresia, Biedermeier-Kaffee, and a handful of other variations on the theme.
In 19th-century France, a mixture of coffee and spirits was called a Gloria.
“Un Trait De Son Caractère Était De Payer Généreusement Quinze Francs Par Mois Pour Le Gloria Qu’il Prenait Au Dessert.” (Balzac, Le Père Goriot, 1834, I.)
“Il Aimait Le Gros Cidre, Les Gigots Saignants, Les Glorias Longuement Battus.” (Flaubert, Madame Bovary, 1857.)
Several places claim to have developed the modern recipe in the 1950s. One Version Is Attributed To Joe Sheridan, Head Chef At The Restaurant And Coffee Shop In The Foynes Airbase Flying Boat Terminal (About 15km From Present-day Shannon Airport, County Limerick). In 1942 or 1943, he added whiskey to the coffee of some disembarking passengers.
Stanton Delaplane, a travel writer for The San Francisco Chronicle, maintains he brought Irish coffee to the United States after drinking it at Shannon Airport. His version is that he worked with the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco to start serving it on November 10, 1952. Sheridan later emigrated to work at the Buena Vista Cafe.
