Whether you call them Whisky drinks (as the Scottish and Canadians spell it) or Whiskey drinks (as Americans and Irish spell it,) there are hundereds of ways to enjoy Whisky. Although water can be added to whiskey drinks, and is liked by lots of drinkers, please don't add water to malt whiskey, or chill malt Whiskey. It results in a loss of bouquet and subtlety, and makes the drink a totally different experience. The so called experts say Irish whiskey should almost never be mixed, but Bourbon (a class of American whiskey) is a part of the basis of the Old-Fashioned Cocktail and Whiskey sour punch, while rye whiskey forms the basis of the popular Manhattan.

The Irish Pubs in San Francisco have claimed that it was they that invented Irish Coffee. After much research their claim has been refuted. Verification of the facts was contributed by none other than Michael Collins, the 28 year veteran bar tender at Shannon Airport. From 1939 to 1945 air travel from America was by flying boats that landed at Foynes, Co. Limerick after a long 18 hour flight. The passengers, chilled by the boat trip from the seaplane to the terminal, sometimes in cold, damp weather conditions, appreciated a hot cup of coffee or tea on arrival at the terminal. Brendan O'Regan, then the youthful manager of the Foynes catering service believed that passengers would welcome something stronger. Mr. Joseph Sheridan, the head Chef at Foynes, rose to the occasion, developing after some research what is now known as Irish Coffee. A plaque marking the achievement has been erected at Shannon Airport and Irish Coffee is increasingly enjoyed throughout the world. Original Shannon Recipe for Irish CoffeeHeat a stemmed whiskey goblet. Pour in one shot of Irish whiskey.Add three sugar cubes. Fill with strong black coffee to within one inch of top. Stir gently. Top off to the brim with heavy cream slightly aerated. Important: Do not stir after adding cream, as the true flavor is obtained by drinking the coffee and whiskey through the cream.
