Method
Coffee base
Brew and sweeten
Brew 1 cup of strong hot coffee (preferably freshly brewed). Pour the hot coffee into a pre-warmed heatproof glass or mug. Stir in 1 teaspoon granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Liqueur & spirit
Add liqueur
Pour 1 oz coffee liqueur into the sweetened hot coffee. If using, add 1/2 oz dark rum or brandy for extra warmth and complexity. Stir gently to combine.
Cream & garnish
Top with cream
Lightly whip or gently shake 2 tablespoons heavy cream until it thickens slightly but still pours. Slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the coffee, creating a layered effect.
Garnish and serve
Dust the cream with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder or grated chocolate. If desired, grate a little orange zest over the top for a bright aromatic note. Serve immediately while hot.
