Coffee Diabolique

"For a very impressive display, put the brandy mixture into the cups, then burn off and add coffee. Great as an after dinner drink. Since the alcohol burns off, even the driver can drink it."

  1. Made for Comfort Cafe 2009 This is really good stuff. Reduced to 2 cups for myself as I am the coffee drinker in the house. I did not have whole cloves but added in ground. I also left out the brandy as I made this for a morning drink. WIll have to serve this for company and add the brandy in next time. Thank you.
     
  2. I scaled this back for one person and left out the alcohol. I loved the lemon and orange flavor!Thanks! Made for the Comfort Cafe.
     
  3. I found the alcohol a bit strong for my taste but then I have never flamed anything and chickened out at the last minute so the alchol didin't burn off LOL Love the rind and spice flavourings. Made for Comfort cafe Recipe of the day
     
  4. I made a half recipe of this for the *Comfort Cafe* event using brandy & the full amt of cloves as I favor them. As written, it was a bit strong for me ~ but I admit to being a bit of an *alcohol wimp* , so I mellowed it as a pers pref w/a generous amt of the spray variety whipped cream stirred in & liked it a lot. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
     
  5. I am an espresso lover. Usually without anything. This was a nice change. Fruity and the cloves after taste was nice. I used Grand Marnier for the cognac. Made 1/2 the amount.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I live in boreingly beautiful San Diego County. We are both retired and have been for 15 years. Before we retired I worked and seldom had time to cook or bake. Now I love to cook even thought there is just the two of us. We have three adult children but only two grandchildren. I am a member of Rotary International and join with my club in many service projects. I like to read, to sew and do ceramics but my real love is traveling. We intend to travel as long as we are both in good health. There is so much to see and so many friends we have not met yet.
