Spanish Coffee #2 recipe

Probably most popular in the Pacific Northwest. I can't believe some of the things I've seen passed off as "Spanish Coffee" elsewhere, including on this site. This is the real deal. If you do not have tempered wine glasses, use a good heavy glass coffee mug. Non-tempered thin glass WILL overheat and break. Don't do it.

1/2 shot Bacardi® 151 rum
1 shot Kahlua® coffee liqueur
1 splash triple sec
coffee
whipped cream
sugar rim
cinnamon
nutmeg

Sugar the rim of a tempered Pinot glass. Pour 1/2 shot Bacardi 151 rum. Use candle lighter or match to flame the rum. Turn glass repeatedly to allow flame to caramelize the sugar on the rim. Don't melt it completely, just caramelize it. While rum is still flaming, sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg lightly into flame. Add Kahlua, a splash of triple-sec, fill with fresh coffee, a bit of real whipped cream (not the spray gunk), then sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on the top. The flame will probably go out when adding either the Kahlua or coffee, but if not, or if you are afraid the glass is becoming too hot, simply place a cocktail napkin over the glass for a second to smother the flame.

I was with ya until the triple sec. Skip THAT and you have the real deal!
