Coffee

2 cups freshly brewed strong hot coffee

Alcohol

2 tbs dark rum1 tbs coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)

Sweetener & Cream

1 tsp brown sugar (or simple syrup)2 tbs Heavy cream2 tbs whipped cream (optional)

Garnish (optional)

1 tsp grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder1 to taste orange twist or cinnamon stick

Method

Prepare Coffee

Brew

Brew 2 cups of strong hot coffee. Use freshly ground beans and slightly more coffee than usual for a robust flavor. Keep the coffee hot.

Combine Alcohol & Sweetener

In a heatproof serving mug, add 2 tablespoons dark rum, 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar (or simple syrup). Stir briefly to dissolve the sugar into the alcohol.

Assemble

Pour the hot brewed coffee into the mug over the alcohol and sugar mixture, leaving a little room at the top for cream. Stir gently to combine.

Finish & Garnish

Lightly whip 2 tablespoons heavy cream until slightly thickened but still pourable (or use chilled heavy cream and pour slowly). Float the cream on top by pouring over the back of a spoon so it layers above the coffee. Optionally top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream for extra richness. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon grated dark chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder on top and add an orange twist or a cinnamon stick if desired.

Serve

Serve immediately while hot. Stir the cream into the coffee as you drink if you prefer a fully mixed beverage.
