How to make the perfect Irish Coffee







Everyone loves an Irish Coffee, but it has to be perfect – especially when friends and family are gathered around you! Here we have a step-by-step video on how to make it just right. The recipe used is straight from Foynes, where this deliciously warming drink was invented! This decadent drink was invented in County Limerick in 1942 by Chef Joe Sheridan at Foynes Port, where planes on route from Europe to America would stop to refuel. Whipped up one cold winter’s night as a warming treat for passengers who were delayed due to bad weather, the late night tipple went on to become a classic. According to legend, a hush came over the crowd as the group took the first taste. “Is this Brazilian coffee?”, someone asked. “No," replied Joe, "that's Irish Coffee."

Always served best when in Ireland.

Fast Facts:
1. A true Irish Coffee has only four ingredients: Irish Whiskey (the extra ‘e’ confirms it’s from the home of great whiskeys), sugar, strong coffee and cream.
2. There’s something about sipping an Irish Coffee in Ireland that’s extra special - not only is the whiskey made here, but the cream used is fresh and straight from dairy farms who feed their cows with lush green grass, which we have a lot of. You’ll know the difference when you taste the Irish Coffee here.
3. Some places make it their duty to ensure an excellent Irish Coffee is served up to whoever visits: Well, the Flying Boat and Maritime Museum, of course, then there’s O’Donoghue’s in Dublin, Harlem CafĂ© in Belfast, Rob Roy Bar in Cobh, County Cork, and Garavan’s in Galway.
4. Fancy raising a glass to the island’s Irish whiskey distilleries? Then we’ve got a trip idea right here 👉 http://bit.ly/2BNMc39, that might suit you perfectly! Just don’t forget to park up the car if you’re tasting the wares!

Ireland a Nation (1914)

Dublin, 11 January 1917 - The Irish military authorities have issued an order prohibiting the further exhibition of a film entitled, 'Ireland, a Nation' which had been shown at the Rotunda Picture House.  The film is deeply nationalist in content and includes scenes depicting the 1798 rebellion, the Great Famine, the trial and execution of Robert Emmet, and the passing of Catholic Emancipation. Considerable crowds attended screenings of the film, which had previously enjoyed a 20-week run in Chicago where it played to huge audiences. It was described by some of those who saw it as possessing 'great dramatic power'.

GAA is ‘booming’ in France

One thousand players have registered to play Gaelic Games in France, largely thanks to a successful long-term growth strategy in Brittany. ‘It’s huge’, says Wicklow-born Anna Marie O’Rourke who is the European GAA Health & Wellbeing Officer and a driving force with the Rennes club. ‘Brittany is one of the hotspots in Europe’. Speaking at the recent European Finals in Maastricht, where Rennes fielded four adult men and womens teams, O’Rourke put the success down to the ‘Celtic Connection’ and getting into the schools system a decade ago. ‘I’m proud to be part of this from the very beginning’. Victor Jallou from the Lorient GAA club also features in the report.
