    Preheat an Irish coffee glass with hot water, then discard it.

  2. 2

    Add the dark rum and coffee liqueur.

  3. 3

    Pour in the hot coffee and stir once to combine.

    Hold a bar spoon just above the surface, curved side up, and pour the lightly whipped cream over the back of it so it floats in a clean layer.

  5. 5

    Do not stir. Serve immediately.

From the Bartender

Tia Maria is Jamaican, made with Blue Mountain coffee, which is why this build works better than a generic coffee liqueur. Whip the cream only to the point where it just holds a ribbon — beat it stiff and it sits on top like a lid instead of a layer.

Spanish Coffee
151-Proof Rum

Spanish Coffee

Burnt sugar and orange on the rim, then hot sweet coffee, then cold cream — three temperatures and three textures in a single mouthful.

Coffee Grog
Dark Rum

Coffee Grog

Butter and brown sugar over dark rum and coffee, with allspice and nutmeg lifting off the top — rich, warming and closer to dessert than to a drink.

Bicerin
Dark Crème de Cacao

Bicerin

Cold cream against hot chocolate and hotter coffee, the temperature contrast doing as much work as the flavours, with a long cocoa finish underneath the roast.

H.D.
Irish Whiskey

H.D.

Rich and warming, with velvety cream and sweet vanilla from the Baileys wrapped around roasted, bitter coffee and the gentle oak-and-spice backbone of Irish whiskey - like a spiked latte for grown-ups.
