"Éirinn go brách,"

Which in Irish (Gaelic) means "Ireland Forever." It was an Irish blessing used to express allegiance to Ireland. According to Wiki anyway.

Everybody's a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day. Here's to a special friend who actually is;Irish that is, to the bone. Quaff one for me ducks.

Irish Coffee
  • 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 jigger Irish whiskey (1 1/2 ounces or 3 tablespoons)
  • Heavy cream, slightly whipped

Directions

Fill footed mug or a mug with hot water to preheat it, then empty. Pour piping hot coffee into warmed glass until it is about 3/4 full. Add the brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Blend in Irish whiskey. Top with a collar of the whipped heavy cream by pouring gently over back of spoon. Serve hot.
