Born from the elegance of the Golden Age of Aviation, the Yankee Clipper Coffee Liqueur pays tribute to a time when transatlantic travel was an event of sophistication, style and wonder. Named after the iconic Pan Am “Yankee Clipper” flying boat, which linked Foynes on the Shannon with New York in the late 1930s, this liqueur celebrates an era defined by polished service, Art Deco glamour and the excitement of crossing oceans in airborne luxury.

The great flying boats were more than aircraft — they were floating salons. Passengers dressed for dinner, sipped cocktails prepared by expert stewards, and experienced travel at its most refined. It was in this world, at Foynes, that Ireland’s most famous cocktail was born. To warm weary transatlantic passengers on stormy winter nights, Irish Coffee was created — the moment when coffee first met whiskey, and a global icon was born.

Yankee Clipper Coffee Liqueur is crafted in honour of that timeless creation, reimagining the original marriage of rich coffee and Irish spirit. Using deeply roasted coffee beans blended with fine Irish whiskey, it delivers a velvety profile of espresso, dark cocoa, caramel and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of the elegant cocktail bars of the era.

Designed for indulgence, the Yankee Clipper is exceptional neat, over ice, or as the foundation for classics such as the Espresso Martini, an elevated Irish Coffee, or any modern twist inspired by aviation’s golden age. It is a tribute to Irish ingenuity, glamorous travel and the enduring artistry of the cocktail.

Step aboard. The journey begins with the first sip.
