Method

HOT DRINKS

  1. 1

    Pre-warm a 6–8 oz (180–240 ml) mug by rinsing with hot water to prevent the drink from cooling too quickly.

  2. 2

    Add brandy

    Pour 45 ml Argonaut Fat Thumb Brandy into the warmed mug.

  3. 3

    Sweeten

    Add 1 teaspoon granulated sugar to the mug and stir until dissolved.

  4. 4

    Combine with coffee

    Pour 240 ml hot brewed coffee into the mug and stir to combine the brandy, sugar, and coffee.

  5. 5

    Top and finish

    Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream. Optionally dust with a pinch of cinnamon.
