Do you know the history of the infamous Irish Coffee?

Irish Coffee was created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, chef at Foynes Port near Limerick, Ireland. Foynes had become one of the biggest civilian airports in Europe during World War ll and then an airbase for transatlantic flights that often carried political or Hollywood figures.

One evening, a flight had to turn back to Foynes Airbase mid-way through its journey. Chef Joe Sheridan, feeling empathy for the delayed, cold and weary passengers decided to whip up something special for them to drink. A silence descended as everyone enjoyed this delectable concoction.

According to legend, the name came about with the following exchange: "Hey Buddy," said a surprised American passenger, "is this Brazilian coffee?" 

"No," said Joe, "that's Irish Coffee."
