International Coffee

With Sheree DeLorenzo

You can heat up these cold winter nights with this warm drink that is truly international. It combines Kahlua (a coffee flavored liqueur from Mexico), Frangelico (a hazelnut flavored liqueur from Italy) and Bailey’s Irish Cream (a combination of Irish whiskey and cream). Add a flavorful and rustic looking touch when serving by dipping the tops of your glass into a shallow bowl of Kahlua and then brown sugar. Let harden before using. If you are serving these drinks at a party remember to prepare the number of glasses you will need about an hour before hand.

Ingredients

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. If you are dipping the tops of your glasses with Kahlua and brown sugar, do so one hour before mixing drinks.
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.
