Calypso Coffee

Sip into the Tropics with Calypso Coffee

As summer breezes in, our love for coffee doesn’t fade, but how about giving it a tropical twist? Today’s blog post is dedicated to a delightful and decadent concoction that not only warms your soul but brings a dash of Caribbean zest to your coffee routine. Let’s dive into the spirited world of Calypso Coffee—a perfect blend of robust coffee and spirited liqueurs topped with velvety cream. Whether you’re looking to spice up your morning or cap off your evening with a sophisticated sip, this recipe promises to transport your taste buds to the islands.

Ingredients:

• 150ml strong hot filtered coffee – The foundation of our drink, make sure it’s freshly brewed for the best flavor.
• 30ml coffee liqueur – Adds a sweet, rich depth.
• 30ml rum – For that unmistakable Caribbean kick.
• 10ml simple syrup (optional) or 1 tsp soft brown sugar – This is optional but recommended if you like a sweeter taste.
• 30ml thick pouring cream – This will float on top to create a beautiful layer.
• 2 coffee beans or grated chocolate for garnish – Adds a nice touch of elegance and extra flavor.

Directions:

1. Prepare the Coffee: Start with 150ml of strong, hot filtered coffee. The better the quality of your coffee, the more delicious your Calypso Coffee will be.
2. Mix the Spirits: To the hot coffee, add 30ml of coffee liqueur and 30ml of rum. Stir in the simple syrup or soft brown sugar if you’re using it. Mix well until everything is beautifully dissolved.
3. Layer the Cream: Using the back of a spoon, gently pour the cream over the surface of the coffee. The trick here is to do it slowly and steadily, so the cream sits perfectly on top rather than mixing in.
4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with two coffee beans or a sprinkle of grated chocolate on top of the cream. This not only looks inviting but adds a subtle hint of flavor that complements the coffee beautifully.
