Belmonte Carajillo

Let’s start with the basics: the coffee. Make a cup of coffee the way you like it best. You can use your favorite coffee maker, a French press, or any method you have at hand. The key is that it’s delicious coffee!

Now, in a heat-resistant cup, add a teaspoon of sugar. Are you a sweet lover? Add a little more, prefer it less sweet? Then, adjust it to your taste. Remember, you are the boss of your Belmonte.

It’s time to incorporate the dark rum. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of rum into the cup. Choose a good rum, as it will be the soul of this cocktail and its flavor will make a difference.

Now, add a tablespoon of Liqueur. This liqueur has a unique flavor with notes of vanilla and citrus that will add a special touch to the Belmonte.

And here comes the trick: slowly pour the hot coffee over the mixture of rum, sugar, and Liqueur. You’ll see how the flavors blend and the aromas fill the room.

If you’re feeling artistic, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top. This will give your Belmonte a soft and creamy touch. It’s like a culinary work of art!

For the final touch, sprinkle some grated nutmeg over the whipped cream. This not only gives it an elegant visual touch but also enhances the flavors of the cocktail.
