    What is a Spiced Rum Coffee?

    A spice from coffee is a combination of heavy cream, coffee and spiced rum with an optional whipped cream garnish. The resulting warm cocktail is smooth and creamy with a hint of spice as it goes down.

    The heavy cream in this drink really lends a little sweetness and creaminess to it. It basically acts like a coffee creamer.

    The coffee that you use in this drink can be brewed in whatever your favorite manner is. It’s nice to use a really strong and high quality coffee since it’s the star of the show.

    Spiced rum is a complex tasting rum. It has a sweetness like all other rums do, but has spices added in such as cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. These spices shine through in this cocktail.

    When to Make This Drink:

    With its warmth and little bit of caffeine, this cocktail can be served at occasion such as:

    • winter holidays
    • fall celebrations
    • after dinner drink
    • brunch

    Variations:

    If you’d like to change this one up a little, here are a few ideas to try out:

    • Make it dairy-free. Instead of using heavy cream, use oat milk, almond milk or another type of dairy-free milk.
    • Add a little Irish cream. Leave out the heavy cream, but still add a little sweet creaminess by adding a splash of Irish cream.
    • Add some spices. Double down on the spices in the rum by adding a little dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.
    • Sweeten it up. Use some sugar, brown sugar or simple syrup to add a little sweetness. You could even try a flavored simple syrup such as brown sugar simple syrup.
    • Use a flavored coffee. Try out a cinnamon or vanilla coffee to add a little flavor into this drink.
    • Make it decaf. Want to serve this in the evening? Use decaf coffee to cut the caffeine out.

    Similar sweet spiked hot coffee cocktails are: Amaretto and coffee, fireball coffee, Carajillo and Baileys and coffee.

    How to make this drink:

    Although this one takes around 10 minutes, the bulk of the time is spent brewing coffee. Once you have your coffee ready only need a couple minutes to toss everything together and give it a stir.

    Equipment:

    • coffee mug or rocks glass
    • jigger
    • bar spoon

    Ingredients:

    • 2 oz Spiced Rum
