Step 1
The most famous coffee cocktail along with rum and cognac is prepared in Jamaica. It's called Jiggy Coffee. Jiggy is a slang word that means something extravagant, stylish, but at the same time a little nervous, excited with a slight crazy and certainly funny. The main secret of this drink is proportions. If you mix coffee, rum and cognac "by eye", you will get a rough, unpredictable result, if you take 8 parts of coffee and one each of cognac and rum, the aroma and taste of alcohol will be too strong. The ideal harmony is the ratio of 10: 1: 1. At the same time, as in all drinks of this kind, cognac does not mean real alcohol from the Cognac province, since its taste cannot stand a sharper and more aggressive rum, but what is classified as a cognac drink or brandy in the international classification.
Step 2
To brew Jiggy, prepare 5 cups of strong, hot black coffee at the rate of 1 tablespoon of medium ground powder in 200 ml of water, 1/2 cup of golden rum and 1/2 cup of brandy, as well as 4 tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice pepper. Alcoholic drinks are better brother authentic, such as Nephew Jamaica Brandy and Captain Morgan. First add sugar and pepper to the coffee and only then add the alcohol. It is not customary to add spices to this hot cocktail, since a good golden rum is already rich in them.
Step 3

One talks about the Spanish occupation of Cuba and says that such a combination was supposed to instill courage in the troops. The second insists that Carajillo is a drink of the Barcelona cargo carriers, who did not have time to drink one thing and mixed coffee with alcohol in the same bowl, because - Que macaw guillo - were in too much of a hurry. Over time, carachillo from a simple drink of soldiers and workers turned into a cocktail with many ritual actions. Someone argued that he is not complete without coffee, someone believed that the correct carachillo will turn out only when sugar is poured into a cup, alcohol is poured and set on fire. In this case, coffee is poured directly onto the flame.
Step 4
Another coffee cocktail with rum or cognac is the Italian caffe corretto, corrected or correct coffee. At the same time, Italians do not strictly regulate alcohol, which needs to "correct" the drink, but insist that coffee cannot be correct without cognac, rum, grappa or liqueur.
