Ingredients

3 oz coffee
2 oz kahlua
1⁄2 oz triple sec, or other orange liqueur
1⁄2 oz aged rum, or white or dark
granulated sugar, for dipping the glass
lemon wedge
sweetened whipped cream, (1 large spoonful) or vegan whipped cream, whipped to soft peaks
grated chocolate, or fresh grated or ground nutmeg, for garnish

Instructions

Make the coffee. Allow it to cool slightly while preparing the drink.
Make the homemade whipped cream, whipping it to soft peaks.
Use a lemon wedge to wet a ½-inch of the rim of the glass and dip the outside in sugar to make a ½-inch band.
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the outside of the glass until the sugar turns brown.
Add the coffee, Kahlua, triple sec and rum and stir once.
Gently float the whipped cream on top using the back of a spoon. Garnish with grated chocolate or nutmeg. Enjoy!
