Greenlandic Coffee
"I got this recipe from the Official Greenland Travel Guide website. It was described as Greenland's version of an Irish Coffee. It is stronger than the well-known Irish dessert coffee and it is finished off with a liquid flame of Grand Marnier that has been set alight – the coffee’s final ingredient."

I cheated just a little bit. I used all the ingredients but I didn't ignite the alcool. I'm too afraid of that lolll And on my photo, I had to double the ingredients since the mug was too big loll Thanks NorthwestGal :) It was so yummy. Made for PAC Spring 2013 -
This was very tasty. I just made this for myself, but with the dramatic finish, this would be a great drink to make when entertaining. Made for ZWT6. -

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
