It is said that Irish Coffee was first created in the 1940’s by a barman at Shannon Airport, outside of Limerick in Ireland, called Joe Sheridan. He sought to offer travellers a warming “pick me up” as they waited to travel, and the cocktail is still now widely offered around the world as exactly that. A warming pick me up!
