Mexican Coffee

We aren’t sure what makes this coffee cocktail from Food. Com Mexican exactly, but we’d like to think of it like a Cafe Con Leche Extreme! Sort of like the original version of 4loko minus the weird additives.

Ingredients:

•  1 sugar cube

• 1 fluid ounce hot water (a shot)

• 3/4 cup coffee

• 1 fluid ounce coffee-flavored liqueur (a shot) like Tia Maria

• 1 tablespoon whipped cream

 Directions:

1. Pour sugar and hot water into a coffee mug. Stir in the coffee and liqueur, and then spoon whipped cream gently on top of the coffee.
