Equipment

  • jigger
  • Rocks glass
  • Coffee Pot
  • Lighter or Kitchen Torch

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz Kahlua
  • .5 oz 151 Rum
  • .5 oz Triple Sec
  • 4 - 5 oz Coffee
  • Sugar (optional garnish)
  • simple syrup (optional garnish)
  • whipped cream (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Brew up a pot of coffee using your favorite method.
  • If you want to a a sugar or caramelized sugar rim, now is the time. There are a few ways to do this:
    1) Pour a thin layer of sugar on a saucer. and a thin layer of simple syrup next to the sugar.
    2) Roll the rim of the glass around in the simple syrup and then in the sugar.
  • If you want to caramelize the sugar you can use a kitchen torch or a lighter. With either way you need to be careful that you don't get burned or break your glass.
    1) If using a lighter, you should roll a tiny amount of 151 around on the edge of the glass and then light that on fire to caramelize the sugar. This is a little less controlled than the torch method.
    2) To use the kitchen torch, simply apply the fire to the sugar and go around the rim while it caramelizes.
  • Measure 1.5 oz of Kahlua with the jigger and toss into the glass.
  • Measure .5 oz of triple sec with the jigger and toss into the glass.
  • Measure .5 oz of 151 rum with the jigger and toss into the glass.
  • Measure 4 - 5 oz of coffee with the jigger and toss into the glass. Or, you can just pour the coffee directly in the glass to top if off.
  • If desired, you can add a large dollop of whipped cream on top.
