Flaming Mexican Coffee

• Coffee
• 1 shot 151 (if you're not doing the flaming version, use bourbin)
• 1 shot Coffee Liqueur
• Cinnamon
• Whip cream
• Long matches or a BBQ lighter

The timing on this whole process is critical, too fast and coffee will not simmer long enough and taste bad, too slow and the flame will go out. The effect is best if you're making 2-3 servings.

1. Preparation
   1. Fill a mug with water for each person and heat to 200F
   2. Get a shot glass for measuring
   3. Put ground coffee beans in a french press
   4. Set presentation area (make sure materials are on hand and nothing flamable is nearby). If the surface is not flame retartant, get a cookie tray.
2. Pour each mug of hot water into the french press
3. Put a shot of 151 in each mug add a little extra to one of them
4. Light the mug with the extra 151
5. Carefully pass the flame from mug to mug
6. When all 3 mugs are lit, measure a shot of coffee liquor into each
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon over each mug, it will have sparkly effect
8. Slowly pour the coffee into each mug, finishing with the mug that had extra 151
9. Top with whip cream and cinnamon and serve

This should feel very slow, from the time you pour the water in the french press until you pour the coffee in the mugs should take 2 minutes. Don't measure the shots ahead of time or it will take 15 seconds. Pour the coffee liquor and coffee slowly from at least 8 inches above the mug. This is especially important for the liquor - if you just dump the shot in, there's a good chance you'll put out the flame. If the coffee is done right, the flame will actually climb a bit.
