Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is a hot drink consisting of coffee, whiskey, and cream. It became popular in the United States during the 1940s. The drink was first served at Shannon Airport in 1945 as a way to warm up passengers during the cold winter months. To make the drink, combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled Irish coffee glass. Top with whipped cream if desired.
