CAFE BRULOT (CAFé BRûLOT DIABOLIQUE)
A Creole flambéed dessert coffee that is still served in grand style at some of New Orleans finest restaurants. This is a very special after-dinner drink, spectacular for entertaining. Can be prepared at the table with lots of fanfare to impress the guests. There are special brulot bowls made to prepare this drink, but a round, chafing dish works well. If you don't care about fancy presentation, you can just use a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop instead.

Steps:
- Using a grinder or mortar and pestle, grind together orange and lemon zests, spices, pecans, and sugar until finely powdered.
- Transfer ground nut/spice mixture to brulot bowl or chafing dish or large saucepan.
- Place dish directly over heat source with the flame on low; add Cognac and liqueur.
- Just as liquid starts to simmer, half fill a metal ladle with the liquid and ignite (I use a long grill lighter to do this and keep a lid for the pan handy: it can be a bit intimidating once the whole thing is ignited; if the flames get to high for you to handle, you can just put the lid on the pan and the flame will go out and you can try again).
- Return flaming liquid to dish to ignite the rest, and stir until sugar dissolves.
- As flame begins to subside, slowly stir in coffee.
- Ladle coffee into brulot cups or coffee cups, and serve hot.
- Can also be served cold for a fancy iced coffee cocktail (coffee ice-cubes work the best, so the drink isn't diluted as the ice melts); shake in a cocktail shaker with ice and serve in champagne glasses.

CAFé BRULOT
Steps:
- Beat cream with 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier to stiff peaks in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours.
- Combine sugar, citrus peels, cinnamon, cloves and remaining 1/2 cup Grand Marnier in heavy large skillet. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture begins to simmer. Simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes.
- Return sugar mixture to simmer over medium heat. Pour mixture into large decorative heat-proof bowl. Pour brandy into heavy large saucepan. Set over medium heat; warm to lukewarm. Ignite with long match. Pour flaming brandy over sugar mixture in bowl. Gradually pour coffee down side of bowl (flames will subside). Bring to table. Ladle coffee into mugs, leaving peel and spices in bowl. Serve with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right coffee: A dark roast coffee with a bold flavor will stand up to the other ingredients in the Café Brûlot.
- Use fresh spices: The spices in the Café Brûlot will lose their flavor over time, so it's important to use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the sugar: The sugar in the Café Brûlot should be caramelized, not burnt. Keep a close eye on the sugar as it cooks to avoid burning it.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the Café Brûlot from scorching.
- Serve the Café Brûlot immediately: The Café Brûlot is best served immediately after it is made. The coffee will lose its flavor and the spices will become less aromatic if the Café Brûlot is allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Café Brûlot is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich coffee flavor, warm spices, and caramelized sugar, Café Brûlot is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special drink to serve your guests, give Café Brûlot a try.
