Cafè Barbados is very similar to a Cafè Caribbean, the main difference is that this one uses a coffee liqueur instead of amaretto. Using dark rum in a coffee cocktail as opposed to a lighter rum matches the robust flavors of a good strong coffee nicely. Personally I prefer using shaved chocolate as a garnish, it tastes better than powdered chocolate.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz dark rum
- 1/2 oz coffee liqueur
- black coffee
- whipped cream
- powdered chocolate or shaved chocolate for garnish
Preparation:
- Pour the dark rum and coffee liqueur into an Irish coffee glass or coffee mug.
- Fill with hot coffee.
- Top with whipped cream
- Garnish with chocolate.
