Greenlandic coffee

Greenlandic version of “Irish Coffee”

Both visually and in terms of taste, the serving of Greenlandic coffee is a special experience. It is stronger than the well-known Irish dessert coffee and it is finished off with a liquid flame of Grand Marnier that has been set alight – the coffee’s final ingredient. The majority of restaurants therefore often make a small show for the guests when Greenlandic coffee is served.

Ingredients in Greenlandic coffee A glass of Greenlandic coffee usually consists of the following: 2 cl whisky (0.676 fl. oz.) 2 cl Kahlúa (0.676 fl. oz.) 2 cl Grand Marnier (0.676 fl. oz.) Approx. 1 dl hot coffee (3.38 fl. oz.) Whipped cream

How to make Greenlandic coffee
Pour a measure of whisky into a large glass with a stem (Bordeaux). Warm the whisky carefully over a candle or a spirit burner and set it alight. Let it burn for a moment, after which Kahlúa and hot coffee without sugar should be added. Then carefully pour in a thick layer of gently whipped cream. Finally, add burning Grand Marnier from a large sauce spoon lifted high above the glass – preferably in a dark room so that the blue Grand Marnier flame is clearly visible. An exotic version of the northern lights!
