Coffee (Greenlandic)

Greenlandic coffee has often been called the arctic cure for cold weather. This is a popular after-dinner drink, especially in the winter months, but you can enjoy it any time you please. It usually consists of whiskey, Kahlua, whipped cream, Grand Mariner, and, of course, hot coffee. Once everything is mixed together, it's poured into a Bordeaux glass and set on fire before you drink it. This is some experience for tourists in Greenland, where Greenlandic coffee is served frequently at meals.

⅓ oz whiskey
⅓ oz Kahlua
⅓ oz Grand Marnier
3 oz coffee, hot
whipped cream

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.

Makes 1 drink.
