The Calypso coffee

Serves 1

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

3⁄4 cup brewed coffee
2 T dark or golden rum
2 T coffee liqueur
sugar, to taste
cream, for serving
a dash castor sugar (optional)
a drop vanilla extract
cocoa powder, for serving

Method

1. Brew coffee as usual and pour 3⁄4 cup into a cup or double- walled glass.

2. Stir in dark or golden rum and coffee liqueur such as Tia Maria or Kahlua. Sweeten to taste – the darker the sugar, the better the result.

3. Top with a layer of cream poured slowly over the back of a teaspoon. For a decadent note, lightly whip the cream with a dash of caster sugar and a drop of vanilla extract before pouring. Dust with cocoa and serve immediately. This drink does not appreciate being left to the cold – but then again, who does?
