The History of Irish Coffee
Summary
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Port of Foynes served as a bustling hub for air traffic between Europe and the United States. This included passengers ranging from refugees to royalty.The Origins of Irish Coffee
During the winter of 1943, a flight departing Foynes for New York had to return due to severe weather. Chef Joe Sheridan, working at the terminal's restaurant, offered weary travelers a comforting drink: coffee blended with rich Irish whiskey. When an American passenger inquired if it was Brazilian coffee, Chef Sheridan famously replied, "That's Irish coffee."
In 1952, Jack Koeppler, owner of San Francisco's Buena Vista Café, brought the beloved recipe to the United States, quickly popularizing it. Today, the Foynes Flying Boat Museum hosts an annual Irish Coffee Festival every August, featuring a prestigious Irish Coffee making competition.
