IRISH COFFEE

Living in Northern California, I can attest to this great Irish coffee served at the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco (I’ve been there several times). The bartender would line up glasses and pour each ingredient across all the glasses, it was something to see and it tastes delicious!  The Irish Whiskey they use exclusively for these yummy coffee drinks is Tullamore D.E.W.)
