Simple Pleasures Dessert Coffee

This is a dessert coffee that I discovered in a now defunct restaurant in SLC, Utah. As a former bartender, drinks of this nature deserve a second glance. Trust me, you and your guest will enjoy ! Oh, if you're worried about the alcohol content, cut the rum in half - it will still light, and the beverage will taste great !
Ingredients
- A full pot of French roast coffee shopping list
- 1 oz ( per serving ) Bacardi 151 rum shopping list
- 1 oz ( per serving ) Tia Maria liquer or Kahlua ( depending on availability ) shopping list
- 4 oz whipping cream shopping list
- 2 tsp powdered sugar shopping list
- 2 TB granulated sugar (see steps 2 and 4) shopping list
- 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges shopping list
- 2 heat resistant coffee cups, preferably clear tempered glass ( but, you can find THICK glass coffee mugs at Bed Bath and Beyond, for a couple of bucks apiece.... ) shopping list
- A shaker of cinnamon, for the final step shopping list
How to make it
- Whip the 4 oz whipping cream and powdered sugar to a stiff consistency, and set aside ( No blender ? Use a whisk - it creates a creamy, most decadent topping.... )
- In a small saucer, evenly distribute the granulated sugar
- Run a lemon wedge around the perimeter of the coffee cups ( see my note in the intro about using clear glass....)
- Dip the cup in the sugar to "rim" ( much like salt on a margarita glass.... )
- Pour 1 oz Bacardi 151 in each cup ( 1/2 oz if you wish to cut back on the alcohol content )
- Light with a "flame stick" or match...
- Rotate the cup to crystallize the sugar with the flaming rum, just until the sugar starts to sag around the rim.
- Set cups down, and pour in the 1 oz shot of Tia Maria or Kahlua ( mixture should still be burning )
- Pour coffee into cups, watching the ignited liquor "float" to the top of the cup.
- Top with the whipped cream and cinnamon, and enjoy !!!
