Finally I come to the other coffee-based Tiki experience on the menu, the Flaming Coffee Grog. This is quite an experience just to order. Ian the Bartender, he is a real artist when it comes to making these classic drinks, and he spares no detail in preparation. Using 151, he ignites a bowl of blue flame, toasting the orange and lemon peel, while he prepares the coconut cream, Marnier and cloves. Pouring the peels, the 151 and coffee together, he shaves cinnamon along the rim and soaks the cinnamon stick, making for quite the intense coffee concoction.
- 3 teaspoons coconut cream
- ¼ oz Grand Marnier
- twist of orange peel
- twist of lemon peel
- 2 whole cloves
- ¾ oz 151º Demerara rum
- hot black coffee
- cinnamon stick
It makes for one hell of an alternative to an Irish Coffee, but I think I still prefer the Krakatoa, myself. Nonetheless, this is certainly a unique entry on the Grog Log, and one to remember as I slide into the final 10 soon.
