Equipment

  • Kitchen Torch
  • Heat Treated Glass

Ingredients

  • 0.75 oz. 151 Rum
  • 0.25 oz. Orange Liqueur
  • 1.5 oz. Kahlua
  • 3 oz. Freshly Brewed Coffee
  • Lightly Whipped Cream and Ground Nutmeg for Garnishing
  • Granulated or Super Fine Sugar
  • 1 Lemon or Orange Wedge

Instructions

  • Brew a cup of strong coffee.
  • Take a lemon wedge and run the cut edge along the rim of a glass, coating it with lemon juice.
  • Dip the rim of the glass into superfine sugar, pressing gently to ensure the sugar sticks. Shake off any excess sugar.
  • In the sugar-rimmed glass, pour in the rum and triple sec.
  • Carefully ignite the mixture using a lighter or match, rotating the glass slowly to warm the rim and allow the sugar to caramelize.
  • Once the sugar has caramelized and the flame has subsided, add Kahlua to the glass.
  • Now pour hot coffee into the glass, filling it to the desired level.
  • To garnish, gently float whipped cream on top of the coffee.
  • Finally, sprinkle grated nutmeg over the whipped cream for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
