Spanish Coffee

Spanish Coffee

It was a cold and rainy day on Thanksgiving, so my husband decided to make us each a Spanish coffee. What could be tastier than hot coffee with Kahlua, rum, a bit of triple sec, and homemade whipped cream? What made this drink extra special was the cinnamon and sugar rim that my husband caramelized with my new Fujima mini cooking torch. This delicious Spanish coffee recipe was easy to make and was a warm and comforting drink.
