Here’s are a couple of great coffee-based cocktails:
Haitian Coffee made with Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star (aged 4 years).
You can adjust this Haitian Coffee recipe once you start mixing in the Rhum. This rum is strong and tastes fabulous.
The freshness and smoothness of Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star will enhance the coffee, while sharp spices cut through a soft, layered structure giving a pleasantly familiar heat.
This is a lovely, luxurious cocktail. I would suggest you have some really good coffee on hand when mixing up this coffee-based cocktail. Thanks to Rhum Barbancourt for this fabulous recipe! I can’t wait to try this!

Ingredients:
• 1 oz Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star, Aged 4 Years
• 1 oz coffee liqueur
• coffee (freshly brewed HOT coffee)
Method:
Pour Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star, coffee liqueur, and sugar into a mug.
Fill with coffee and stir gently.
Top with a bit of whipped cream;
Add sugar if you would like it a bit sweeter
About Rhum Barbancourt:
Rhum Barbancourt’s grand specificity comes from its use of pure sugar cane juice (no molasses), and It is probably one of the most “handcrafted” spirits on the market. All operations are completed by hand, from growing the sugar cane, cutting it, loading it on mules to reach the distillery. Fermentation and distillation processes are the same as they were 150 years ago.

About Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey
Numerous Irish whiskey makers sought McGregor’s endorsement over the years, but as a true born and bred Irishman, he did not want to simply endorse an Irish whiskey. Inspired by his pride for Ireland and his love of Irish whiskey, McGregor wanted to create his own whiskey that would match his high standards and make his country proud. McGregor, his manager Audie Attar and entrepreneur Ken Austin developed the brand under the project name “Notorious” through which came the foundation of what was to eventually become Proper No. Twelve. It became a longer and more complicated project than originally expected, so McGregor turned to a distillery with a proven history of quality whiskey making. He met David Elder, esteemed master distiller, previously of Guinness, and together they took painstaking measures to bring the whiskey to fruition. “We created close to one hundred blends and ultimately selected what we knew was the one and only proper whiskey blend. We took the time to develop an incredible whiskey, and I’m excited to share it with the world,” said McGregor. Visit www.properwhiskey.com
