January 25th is National Irish Coffee Day, and the entire week has been designated National Irish Coffee Week. So get the Irish whiskey from the cupboard, brew the coffee, and whip the cream.

It’s so easy to make that you can invite the gang over after work today for a mug or two. You can also rent a movie starring your favorite Irish actor (the many choices include Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Farrell, and Liam Neeson).
