The most important step -- Bailey's is NOT involved in any way!

While I have many vices, drinking coffee is not one of them....but I do make exceptions for Irish coffee! The Cliff House at the beach in SF used to make a good one too.

I love Buena Vista! It's such a great San Francisco institution. On some occasions, Mr. Yum and I will just go, sit at the bar, and end the night with an Irish coffee each...
