Liqueur coffee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Liqueur coffee, as its name suggests, is a coffee brew with a measure (25ml shot) of liqueur. This brew is usually served in a clear, clean, pre-heated, liqueur coffee glass with the coffee and cream separated for good visual and taste effect. The liqueur of choice is added first with a teaspoon of raw cane sugar mixed in. The glass in then filled to within an inch of the top with good, strong, fresh filter coffee. Fresh, chilled, additive free, slightly whipped cream is then poured carefully over the back of a cold teaspoon, so that it floats on top of the coffee and liqueur mixture. The sugar is required in the coffee mixture to help the cream float.

The glass should be served on a saucer with a bitter mint chocolate on the side.
