THE BEST IRISH COFFEE IN ORANGE COUNTY

IRISH COFFEE IN ORANGE COUNTY

In honor of all you Orange County Lads & Lassy’s, we’re listing places that offer Irish Coffee in Orange County. Irish Coffee is always a favorite way of ending a nice meal or warming up on a cold evening.

Several places claim to have developed the modern recipe in the 1950s. One version is attributed to a Joe Sheridan, head chef at the restaurant and coffee shop in the Foynes Airbase Flying boat terminal, in Foynes, Ireland. In 1942 or 1943 he added whiskey to the coffee of some of the disembarking passengers.

Stanton Delaplane, a travel writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, maintains he brought the Irish coffee recipe to the United States after drinking it at Shannon Airport. He says that he worked with the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco and they started serving it on November 10, 1952. Chef Sheridan later emigrated to the U.S. and worked at the Buena Vista Cafe.
