Let’s mix it up!

What You’ll Need:

1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
1 1/2 oz spiced rum (like Captain Morgan or Kraken)
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or more to taste)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Pro Tips:

Use strong, freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor. A dark roast works perfectly here!
Warm your mug with hot water before making the drink to keep it nice and toasty.
Don’t skip the whipped cream—it adds that extra creamy, dessert-like touch that makes this drink special.

Tools You’ll Need:

Mug (glass mugs look fancy, but any will do!)
Spoon (for stirring)

Substitutions & Variations:

No spiced rum? Regular dark rum works too, or try bourbon for a twist.
Make it dairy-free by skipping the whipped cream or using coconut whipped cream.
For a sweeter drink, add a splash of vanilla syrup or caramel syrup.

Make Ahead Tips:

This drink is best made fresh, but you can brew your coffee ahead of time and keep it warm in a thermos.
