Method
Cocktail
Combine spirits
Into the warmed glass, add 1.5 oz Kahlúa, 0.5 oz Cointreau, and 1 oz dark rum.
Add coffee and sugar
Pour 6 oz of freshly brewed hot coffee into the glass (leave a little headspace for cream). If you prefer it sweeter, stir in 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar until dissolved.
Stir
Gently stir the mixture for about 10–15 seconds to integrate the liqueurs and coffee evenly.
Garnish & Finish
Top with cream
Lightly whip 2 tablespoons heavy cream until it thickens slightly but is still pourable (soft peaks not necessary). Spoon or carefully pour the slightly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so it floats on top of the hot coffee mixture. Alternatively, dispense about 2 tablespoons of pre-whipped cream or aerosol whipped cream for a quick finish.
Garnish
Grate a pinch of fresh nutmeg directly over the cream. If using, express an orange twist over the drink to release oils, then drop it in or rest it on the rim.
Serve immediately while hot. Instruct guests to sip through the cream to experience the contrast of hot spiced coffee and cool whipped cream.
