Great coffee drink that is well known in Cabo San Lucas. What makes it so special? It's that extra touch of heat from Tequila!

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons sugar divided
- 3 ounces tequila divided

- Dust the ice cream with a shake of cinnamon
Notes
I did not flame the mixture of tequila and Kahlua; as dramatic as it is in the video...it tastes great without and my house is still standing.
