@Kropotkin That is not how an Irish coffee is made at the Buena Vista. They use slightly whipped heavy cream.
And, while most places have Irish coffee as a dessert drink, they can be drunk anytime of day to ward off the chill. I have had them with breakfast at the Buena Vista, they go well with bacon and fried eggs and sourdough toast.
@jca2 in 1952 the San Francisco Chronicle report Stanton Delaplane first had an Irish coffee at Shannon Airport outside Dublin. He is the one that took the idea to the Buena Vista. Irish coffees were the airports “welcome to Ireland” drink.
