Baileys Coffee is a modern twist on the classic Irish Coffee, which originated in Ireland in the 1940s. The original Irish Coffee was invented to warm up weary travelers at Foynes Airport and featured hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and cream. As Baileys Irish Cream became a household favorite in the 1970s, it wasn't long before creative bartenders began adding it to coffee, giving birth to the creamy, sweet Baileys Coffee we know and love today.
A swirl of whipped cream on top adds a luscious, creamy finish and helps balance the warmth of the coffee. For extra flair, dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
