Who’s pumped up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on a
Saturday!?! This girl!! I’ve got my sequin vest ready (true story) and have
been St. Practicing for weeks. One thing on the Smithkowski party menu? Irish
Coffee.
When doing my research, I found that there are several
recipes for this Irish delicacy. I’m going to go with my friends at Wikipedia –
because their recipe comes from the people at the International Bartenders Association.

Irish Coffee (via Wikipedia)

40ml (2
parts) Irish whiskey
·
80ml (4
parts) hot coffee
·
30ml (1½
parts) fresh cream
·
1tsp brown sugar
Heat the coffee,
whiskey and sugar; do not boil. Pour into Irish Coffee mug and top with cream;
serve hot.
A bit of trivia to help you sound awesome at your St. Pat’s
Party – The original Irish Coffee was created by Joe Sheridan, a chef in the
County Limerick, Ireland. Joe created the drink when a group of American passengers
got off of a flight during really cold weather in the 1940’s, so Joe added
whiskey to the cup of Joe (haha – pun intended) to warm up the passengers.
