Orleans Coffee

From , former About.com Guide

A flaming coffee drink that will impress at a party. Maybe a little too showy for your typical morning coffee, but a wonderful spiced recipe when serving coffee cocktails for a crowd.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coffee
  • 1 orange
  • 5 tbs cognac
  • 5 tbs benedictine
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 3 cloves, whole

Preparation:

Strip off a large piece of orange zest, and poke the cloves into it. Place in the bottom of a mug, with the brown sugar. In a saucepan, mix the cognac and benedictine and heat through. Light the alcohol and pour (flaming) into the mug. Fill mug with coffee and serve.
