My Grandfather was Irish (hence my flaming red hair). Boy he was put through the ringer with my Grandmothers Italian brothers! They made quite the pair though. Eventually the family cam around and grew to love him as much as she did. :)
Here is an Irish Coffee for Grandpa. Notes on top show it came from Vera in 1973 from a trip they took to Reno.
Irish Coffee
Vera - Reno 1973
Yields: 1 Servings
Ingredients
1 ounce Irish Wiskey
1 teaspoon Sugar
5 ounces Coffee strong, black
Heavy cream
Instructions
Coffee - Strong as a friendly Hand
Whiskey - Smooth as the wit of our Land
Sugar - Sweet as the tongue of a Rogue
Cream - Rich as an Irish Brogue
Into a 6 or 8 oz glass gobblet, pour one ounce of Irish Whiskey. Stir in one teaspoon sugar. Leaving spoon in the glass, add strong black coffee to within about an inch of the rim. Stir well. Beat cold heavy cream with a wire whisk until aerated but not whipped. Hold warm spoon upside down over the glass and slowly pour the cream over the back of the spoon until it fills the glass up to the rim. Do not stir after adding cream, as the unique flavor is obtained by drinking the whiskey and hot coffee through the cold cream.

I might need to make a whiskey run today. That sounds good! I have been meaning to find an alcoholic drink that is warm! Thanks for sharing this!
