Although variations of coffee cocktails have been around for over a century, the classic Irish Coffee was crafted by Joe Sheridan in the 1940s. Sheridan, a head chef at Foynes, County Limerick, invented this warm beverage for American passengers arriving at Foynes’ port, now known as Shannon International Airport.
