Have you ever wanted to make the perfect Irish coffee? Well luckily for you, Tourism Ireland has come to the rescue just in time for Christmas.

The useful little video demonstrates ‘how to make the perfect Irish Coffee‘, with simple instructions accompanying some mouth-watering visuals.

The step-by-step video uses a recipe straight from Foynes, where this deliciously warming drink was invented. It was first created in 1942 by chef Joe Sheridan at Foynes Port, where planes en route from Europe to America would stop to re-fuel.

Whipped up one cold winter’s night as a warming treat for passengers who were delayed due to bad weather, the tipple went on to become something of a classic!

And it has remained a classic to this day. So don’t stress about the possible complications with the drink, simply follow the steps and you’ll be sipping an Irish Coffee in no time.
