Drink Recipe

Alhambra Royale

A warm, indulgent after-dinner drink that layers rich hot chocolate with the fruity warmth of cognac and a bright orange oil twist, finished with a cloud of whipped cream. Visually dramatic when the cognac is ignited and poured, it tastes of velvety chocolate, orange citrus, and brandy heat, a cozy, boozy dessert in a mug that doubles as a showpiece.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Cognac
  • 1 cup Hot Chocolate
  • 1 tbsp Whipped Cream

Instructions

  1. Fill a mug with hot chocolate, leaving a small space at the top.
  2. Gently twist an orange peel to release its oils over the mug, then drop the peel into the chocolate.
  3. Warm the cognac using a ladle over hot water, ensuring it's evenly heated.
  4. Carefully ignite the cognac using a lighter and swiftly pour it into the mug while still aflame.
  5. Finish by topping the drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
