Flaming Irish Coffee Food

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:

• In separate cups, measure the rum, coffee liqueur, and brewed coffee and have at hand the spices.
• After the fire is out, your cocktail is complete. However, you can choose one or more of the optional garnishes to finish it off.
• 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.

ORIGINAL IRISH COFFEE

Steps:

Blend in Irish whiskey. Top with a collar of the whipped heavy cream by pouring gently over back of spoon. Serve hot.

BRULOT CHARENTAIS - ANGEL'S FLAMES - FRENCH FLAMBé COFFEE

Steps:

• You need HEAT RESISTANT earthenware cups, saucers, and a heatproof coaster. You need 4 cls of cognac, but the Zaar recipe editor would not allow me to post that - which is about a 1 jigger measure.
• Place the cup in the saucer (it is preferable to put the saucer on a plate or tray).
• Fill the coffee cup with cold coffee, up to two centimetres below the top of the cup, then slowly pour 1 cl of the Cognac onto the coffee (best to use the back of a tea/coffee spoon, so it floats and can catch light).
• Pour the remaining 3 cls of Cognac into the saucer, then place 2 - 3 sugar cubes in the cognac.
• Light the sugar cubes with a match; the Cognac will slowly ignite, heating the coffee and combining with the sugar to form a Cognac liqueur. (It is important to let the Cognac burn and extinguish naturally; if not, too much alcohol will remain in the mixture, and the special 'alchemy' between the coffee and the Cognac will be lost.).
• When the flame has extinguished, wait for a little while for the handle to cool down, place the cup on the coaster. Empty all or part of the contents of the saucer into the cup (depending on personal taste and sweetness required).
• Your Brulot Charentais is now ready to drink. Salut!
