The never ending debate, where was Irish Coffee 'invented' ???
Some say Shannon airport, some say San Fran!
Irish coffee was invented in 1943 by Joe Sheridan in Shannon Airport. Some passengers alighted from a failed transatlantic flight and Sheridan served coffee with a shot of Irish whiskey to warm them up and named it on the spot. Later the idea crossed the pond after travel writer Stanton Delaplane tasted it at Shannon ☕🥃
