Calories: 271kcal
Ingredients
- 200 ml Coffee freshly brewed
- 25 ml Malibu or other coconut rum
- 25 ml Kahlúa
- Brown sugar (optional, to taste)
- 2½ tablespoons Double cream (heavy cream)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut flakes (or desiccated coconut) lightly toasted
Instructions
- Gently whip the cream until it just begins to thicken and has a few bubbles.
- Warm a glass mug by filling with hot water for 30 seconds before pouring it away.
- Pour the Malibu coconut rum and Kahluá coffee liqueur into the mug.
- Pour the freshly brewed coffee over the liqueurs. Stir in the sugar if using.
- Create the cream float by gently pouring the cream on the top of the coffee over the back of a spoon or down the stem of an upturned bar spoon. Scatter toasted coconut over the top (if using) & serve immediately.
Notes
- Warm your serving glass: This coffee and coconut drink isn't piping hot anyway, due to the addition of cold Malibu and Kahluá, so serving it in a warmed glass helps keep it at a respectable temperature.
- Measure the alcohol: Don't eyeball it as it is easy to tip the balance of flavours in this coffee and Malibu drink.
- Taste before adding sweeteners: You may not need to add in sugar as the Malibu and Kahluá liqueurs are both sweet in nature. Test it before topping with the cream, adding sugar only if required.
- Use decaffeinated coffee if you want to.
- Make it dairy-free: Either omit the cream float completely or swap the dairy cream for a dairy-free alternative.
- Please note: Malibu is not vegan.
- Top with toasted coconut: Dry fry coconut chips or dessicated coconut in a small pan and sprinkle of top of the cream
- Coconut rim: Dip the edge of the serving glass first in water and then in desiccated coconut (toasted or not toasted)
- Coconut cream: Go all out on the coconut-theme by swapping the cream float for whipped coconut cream.
