The Café Brasileiro is another very sweet, complex drink from the mind of John Gakuru (check out Aman Snow Leopard). It is sweet, a mix of cachaca, chocolate liqueur and a special vanilla cream - all of that with fresh hot coffee. I recommend making the best cup of coffee possible, your standard drip coffee pot may not do it here. I prefer to use a French press with slightly ground beans (fair trade, organic) because it produces a frothier, richer cup of coffee that is excellent in this (and most other) hot cocktail.

Prep Time: 0 hour, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz Sagatiba Pura Cachaca
  • 1/2 oz dark chocolate liqueur
  • 2 1/2 oz fresh hot coffee
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 2 oz heavy cream*
  • seeds from one vanilla pod*
  • * to make 2 oz vanilla cream for floating

Preparation:

  1. To make vanilla cream:
  2. Stir all other ingredients together in an Irish coffee glass.
  3. Slowly and gently layer the vanilla cream onto the surface of the drink.
