I love serving guests this drink in a sugared glass—I think it’s artistic and gives a rustic elegance to the presentation.  This is a wonderful treat on a cold day, and can double as dessert.

Always pour the liquor into the glass at room temperature first.  This way you won’t break the glass when you pour in the coffee.

½ ounce Kahlua
½ ounce Frangelico
½ ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream
½ cup coffee, warm or hot
1 large spoonful whipped cream
½ spoonful shaved chocolate 

Instructions

1. Prepare the glasses one hour before serving the drinks.  If desired, dip the tops of your glasses with Kahlua and brown sugar, prepare the glasses one hour before serving.  Place ½ cup Kahlua in a shallow bowl, and ½ cup brown sugar in a separate bowl.  Dip rim of glass into Kahlua, then brown sugar.  Repeat this process several times and let it sit.  The mixture will drip down the glass and harden, creating a dramatic presentation.

2. Add Kahlua, Frangelico and Bailey’s into the serving glass.
3. Add coffee and mix.
4. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings and serve.
