CBS Sunday Morning – Irish Coffee, at a San Francisco institution, the BV

With cable cars running past its door, the Buena Vista Café, which opened in 1916, is a San Francisco institution. And for more than 40 years, it’s had the same bartender who’s been making the same drink that made the Buena Vista famous.

Paul Nolan says it’s estimated he’s made four to five million Irish Coffees in the past 41 years. "I just take their word for it. I didn’t count ’em!" he laughed.

"So, no wonder you’re good at it!" said correspondent John Blackstone.

Irish Coffee first came to America back in 1952. "The original recipe came from Ireland, by the inventor, Joe Sheridan, and he gave the recipe to the beat writer of the Chronicle, Stan Delaplane."
