In summer, we are all usually together as a family. Many of us like a little morning eye-opener. I found a refreshing new twist on Irish Coffee, "Italian Style" :) I'm sure somebody must make this near where the Rum is made. Read more See less

Ingredients

2 Shots espresso (If I were to be formal I might say Demi-tasse) shopping list
2 Shots Medium-Dark Rum; Use an in-expensive good Rum; Try Cruzan, a brand from St. Croix. Of course, You may be like my wife and prefer Blackstrap Rum. It's up to You! :) ) shopping list
4-6 ice cubes shopping list
6-8 fl-ounce club soda. (Or your fave sparkling water.) shopping list
lemon rind Twist. (Use a wider rind for better citrus aroma & flavor.) shopping list

How to make it

Cut your Lemon Rind Twist; Width as you like.
Make your 2 shots Espresso. (I use an inexpensive steam espresso maker; Takes only 5-8 mins for 2 shots.)
While Espresso is Hot; Add Lemon Rind to Hot Coffee.
Let Hot Espresso sit with Lemon Rind for 2-3 mins allowing aroma and flavor from Citrus to infuse coffee.
I like mine black. Here you may like to add cream or sugar. The Rum itself is already sweet enough for me also.
Add Ice cubes to Coffee creating an Ice-Coffee.
Add Rum to Ice Coffee. (We don't add rum to the hot coffee; it evaporates the alcohol content and weakens the flavor.)
In a tall glass; Mix 6-8 fl-ounces Club Soda with Iced Coffee.
Find a comfortable spot outside by the water's edge; with the seagulls just far enough away not to "rain" on your parade.
Relax and Pickup the Morning Paper!

Make a nice Espresso! Close

Enjoy! Close

Since winter is roaring down upon us, and I like a little "warmer-upper", I may have to go steam up the bathroom so I can try the Iced Coffee rum version of this...sounds delicious!
