Flaming Irish Coffee Recipes

FLAMING IRISH COFFEE

Steps:

• In a small plate pour 3 tablespoons of sugar in the center.
• In a separate plate pour 1/4 cup of water.
• Take a large wine glass that is fairly sturdy. DO NOT use a thin or expensive glass as it's possible that it could break from the heat.
• Turn wine glass upside down and dip it in the water plate to wet the rim.
• Immediately dip it in the sugar plate to coat the rim of the glass with sugar.
• Set glass upright on countertop.
• Pour a small splash ( about a teaspoon ) of Bacardi 151 into the wine glass.
• Pick up glass and swirl the Bacardi 151 around to coat the inside of the glass. Put the glass down again.
• Light a match in one hand and pick the glass up with the other hand. Carefully tip the glass at a 45 degree angle and bring lit match to the mouth of the glass. It will ignite quickly.
• Turn the glass so that the fire evenly carmellizes the sugar on the rim of the glass. Do this for about 20-30 seconds.
• Put glass down on countertop and cover with a plate to extinguish the flame.
• Pour in 4 liquors and fill the remainder of the glass with coffee up to about a quarter inch from the top.
• Top off with whipped cream.
• Enjoy the best coffee drink that you have ever had!

FLAMING SPANISH COFFEE

Steps:

• It might still be hot, so enjoy with care.

GREENLANDIC COFFEE RECIPE

Steps:

• Brew your coffee and have it ready to pour.
• Pour your whiskey into a large, stemmed glass. Carefully warm the whiskey over a candle, or you can use a spirit burner.
• Let the whiskey burn for a second, then add the Kahlua and hot coffee. Do not add sugar to the mix.
• Now, carefully add a thick layer of whipped cream, being careful not to burn yourself or disturb the drink.
• Once this is done, add your burning Grand Marnier, using a large sauce spoon with it lifted high above your glass. It's better if you do this in a dark room so the blue flame can be seen well by others.
• Repeat until everyone has their coffee drink. Then sit around the fire and tell tales and legends of your own.
