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!

3
ounces

cups

Instructions
Pour some coffee onto a saucer, do the same with the sugar on another plate.
Dip the rim of your glasses into the coffee and then into the sugar to coat the rim.
Using a kitchen torch or a lighter, caramelize the sugar on the rim.
Add 1 & 1/2 ozs of both the tequila and the coffee liqueur to each glass.
Dust the Kahlua/tequila mixture with cinnamon, add 1 cup of hot coffee and finish each glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
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.
