After tasting Irish coffee at Shannon in the early 1950s, he couldn\u2019t stop thinking about it and convinced Jack Koeppler, owner of the Buena Vista Caf\u00e9 in San Francisco, to help recreate the drink back home.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was just one problem: they couldn\u2019t get the cream to float properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After many failed attempts (and more than a few late-night tastings), the Buena Vista team eventually nailed the technique and began serving Irish coffee on 10 November 1952.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesonwhiskey.com\/en\/our-world\/origin-of-irish-coffee\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irish coffee might have stayed a local curiosity in the west of Ireland, but thanks to that Shannon-to-San-Francisco connection, it became a global classic.

Sip the hot, sweet coffee through the cool cream and enjoy that first sip the way Joe Sheridan intended.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you look at our current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesonwhiskey.com\/en-ie\/cocktail-recipes\/irish-coffee\/\">Jameson Irish Coffee recipe<\/a>, you\u2019ll recognise Joe Sheridan\u2019s original template with the same coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and cream.<\/p>\n<p>But with this recipe (the classic you\u2019ve probably encountered in a pub), there\u2019s also an optional flourish of vanilla and nutmeg.
