BBC - History - Joe Sheridan (1909 - 1962) (#)
„Sheridan had to teach him the proper method. This involved warming the glass to prevent it from cracking, and then combining hot coffee and a measure of Irish whiskey. A tablespoon of sugar was mixed in, to make the coffee denser and enable the cream to float more easily. Finally the cream - double, probably slightly whipped - had to be poured over the back of a spoon to discourage mixing.Sheridan later went to California, where Irish Coffee is still extremely popular.“

„I’m quite partial to an Irish coffee (made with good Irish Whiskey and double cream) myself, but the preflavoured beans are a whole different matter. First of all the actual quality of the coffee involved is usually pretty low, because roasters see no need to spend money when the taste of the coffee isn’t important. Second, the added flavours are usually chemical concoctions dissolved in a glycol or vegetable oil base.“

Amazon.com: Books: Recipes from Ireland
„The dishes are simple and tasty, Asala says, and reflect "the quality of their ingredients-fresh meat and seafood, rich milk and cream, fruit, vegetables and wonderful wholesome bread." Irish whiskey is a favorite ingredient. It is used in drinks such as the traditional Irish coffee and milk punch, and in other recipes, including one for Christmas cookies. Oatmeal is another favorite, appearing in recipes for beverages, leek and oatmeal soup and almond pudding.“
