Irish coffee originated in a pub called Dolphin in Dublin in 1940. The drink eventually spread to Foynes Port, and/or Sheridan had the drink before, and it led to him serving it to the passengers at the airport. Some also credit its U.S. origin in New York, instead of San Francisco. The first instance of Irish coffee in the U.S. is a New York food critic, Clementine Paddleford, talking about St. Patrick’s Day in 1948. She talks about Irish Coffee and its recipe, which is similar to the one we have today. This did come before Irish Coffee in San Francisco, but San Francisco is where the coffee really took off, so the New York origin is often ignored.
