The Buena Vista Cafe in SF is credited with bringing the Irish Coffee to America.  They are famous for their recipe.  Delicious!

Fill glass with very hot water to pre-heat, then empty. Pour hot coffee into hot glass until it is about three-quarters full. Drop in two cocktail sugar cubes. Stir until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Add full jigger of Irish Whiskey for proper taste and body. Top with a collar of lightly whipped whipping cream by pouring gently over a spoon. Enjoy it while piping hot.

The Buena Vista serves up to 2,000 Irish Coffees a day. 11/10/2008 The Buena Vista goes For the Guinness Worlds Record for the Worlds Largest Irish Coffee. Slide Show and Links to World Record Press

That sounds delicious and would really hit the spot right now.

Hi @Citrine1

It does hit the spot, I'm having one now, lol.

Oh lucky you @Noel7.  So glad you're having one and enjoying it!  

I'm watching American Idol and drinking an iced tea.  Oh well.  Sigh.  (LOL)

@Citrine1

I'm a big fan of tea, iced or hot  

One way or another, I drink it on and off all day, and the good news is that it's better for us than water

Enjoy!

I have stopped by there many times on visits to San Francisco.  They are delicious and potent!
