How to Make Spiced Spanish Coffee

1. Brew Coffee

Begin by brewing a pot of strong black coffee, ensuring it is robust and aromatic. Pour the coffee into a small cup, filling it about three-quarters full.

2. Add Sugar

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add sugar to taste and stir until it dissolves. The sugar can balance the bitterness and enhance the overall flavor.

3. Add Alcohol

Next, measure out a tablespoon or more of your chosen spirit—rum, brandy, or orujo. Carefully pour the alcohol into the coffee, allowing it to blend and infuse seamlessly.

4. Stir and Serve

Finally, give the coffee a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined. The stirring is not just a mechanical step; it’s where the flavors truly come together, creating a harmonious and inviting drink.

Pitfalls and tips

Select Quality Ingredients

Use high-quality freshly roasted coffee beans and whole spices for the most aromatic drink.

Coffee Brewing Technique

Brew a strong coffee using a French press or espresso machine to hold up against the liqueurs and spices.

Perfect Whipped Cream

Make fresh whipped cream with cold heavy cream, a touch of vanilla, and powdered sugar for a luxurious finish.

Balancing Spices

Start with small amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove and toast them before grinding to enhance flavor.

Temperature Control

Serve the coffee hot but not scalding to appreciate the nuanced flavors without discomfort.
