Irish Coffee

IBA

Born at Foynes Airport in Ireland during the 1940s, this drink was designed to warm transatlantic passengers on bitter winter nights. The sharp warmth of Irish whiskey cuts through strong coffee, while a layer of lightly whipped cream creates a rich, contrasting coolness with every sip.
