National Irish Coffee Day

National Irish Coffee Day is celebrated annually to honor the classic cocktail made with hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and cream. The holiday originated in the 1940s at the Foynes Airbase in Ireland, where chef Joe Sheridan first concocted the drink to warm up American passengers. Since then, Irish Coffee has become a beloved beverage enjoyed around the world. To celebrate, people often gather at pubs or coffee shops to savor this rich and cozy drink. It has become a tradition to raise a glass in honor of National Irish Coffee Day and enjoy this timeless combination of flavors.
