  • 1 Stirring spoon
  • 1 Chocolate grater or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans, freshly ground

  • 2 tbsp whipped cream
  • 1 chocolate-covered coffee bean (optional)

Instructions

Coffee Making

  • Brew up the freshly ground Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in a cafetière with boiling water and leave it for a few minutes.
  • In a mug or heat-resistant glass, combine the brewed coffee, 3/4 oz of dark rum, and 3/4 oz of coffee liqueur. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  • Top the drink with 2 tbsp of whipped cream.
  • If desired, garnish the drink with a chocolate-covered coffee bean.

Optional variations

  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a splash of simple syrup or a spoonful of sugar to the mixture.
  • For a frothy twist, use a milk frother to create a layer of foam on top of the drink.
  • If you want to make a non-alcoholic version of this recipe, omit the rum and coffee liqueur and add a little extra coffee or milk to the mixture.
