"Fluffy mounds of whipped cream, a lot of warming liquors, steaming hot coffee, and getting to apply live fire to an orange peel. What more can you ask of a winter libation?"
½ ounce brandy
½ ounce Grand Marnier
½ ounce Kahlua
5 ounces freshly brewed coffee
1 orange peel
½ cup whipping cream
½ teaspoon sugar
If you want to slide past the whole rigamarole of whipping your own cream, just get premade whipped cream. If you want to go old school, pour the whipping cream into a bowl and beat the bejeezus out of it with your mixer till it’s frothy, then add the sugar.
Pour all four liquids into a mug. Use your lighter to warm up the orange peel and let the heat release the oils which turns the peel into a yummy stir stick. The aroma alone will warm your cockles. Plop on a nice drift of sweetened whipped cream and bliss out.
