O.G. I.C. from the B.V.

If you haven't already, make sure to stop by the Buena Vista on your next trip to San Francisco. Home of the original Irish Coffee, a drink I was raised on...well maybe not raised on, but I can't really remember not drinking them, and my mom tells stories of drinking two every day on her lunch breaks while living in SF in the 70's. The only difference between mine and the Buena Vista's is I usually use Bushmill's (and a bit more of it) instead of Tullamore Dew, after doing the Dew one Paddy's Day and waking up on the 18th with an empty bottle and splitting headache.
