Bet the bartenders at the Buena Vista Cafe in SF would be twisting in the wind. Used to go there and have an Irish coffee before sailing. It was always Irish whiskey (Bushmill's being my choice), two sugar cubes and a collar of whipped cream floating on top. Good luck on getting any other flavored coffee there, even though one bartender would take pity on me and make it an Amaretto coffee since I truly don't like whiskey. Bailey's was never used since it is a cream whiskey. The trick is to get the cream to float. Oh, and don't ask for decaf. Those bartenders have Irish rolling eyes down to a fine art.
