Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Lemon wedge
- 1 ounce Dark rum
- 1 ounce Coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
- 6 ounces Hot brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Rub the rim of a heatproof coffee glass or mug with the lemon wedge to moisten it.
Spread the granulated sugar on a small plate and dip the rim of the glass into the sugar to create a sugar-coated rim. Tap off any excess sugar and set the glass aside.
In the prepared glass, pour the dark rum. Carefully ignite the rum with a long lighter or match to caramelize the sugar on the rim (optional, and ensure proper safety precautions while handling flame). Let it burn for about 10 seconds, then extinguish the flame by gently covering the glass with a heatproof lid or plate.
Add the coffee liqueur to the glass, then slowly pour in the hot brewed coffee, stirring gently to combine.
Top the coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the whipped cream for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spanish Coffee.
