This Monday 25th January marks Irish Coffee Day 2021 – a celebration of this timeless and classic whiskey warmer that always goes down a treat on a cold evening! First created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, a barman and chef, the Irish Coffee was given as a welcoming drink to tourists arriving in Ireland from transatlantic flights.
This classic recipe from Bushmills Irish Whiskey balances sweet, malty and velvety smooth Bushmills Original with the intense flavours of the black coffee to create a deliciously rich and warming sip.
Give this recipe a try this evening and raise a glass to the year ahead…
