GREENLANDIC COFFEE
I got this recipe from the Official Greenland Travel Guide website. It was described as Greenland's version of an Irish Coffee. 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.

Steps:
- 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.
