This was a smooth and delicious cup of coffee to start off my morning. With that added zing of the cinnamon liqueur, this was a delight to the palate and a real pleasure to savor and sip on such a cold and snowy winter morning.

5 Stars, this was divine! The Hot D*mn Cinnamon Burst liqueur did not overwhelm; rather it lent a tantalizing accent. The Kahlua and Godiva liqueurs were not as readily distinguishable. I used 6 oz of Hazelnut Dark Roast coffee in a smallish coffee mug; as a result, after I added the whipped cream and began dripping the remaining cinnamon liqueur on top, my drink overflowed the mug. So I would definitely use an Irish Coffee mug next time. Thanks for posting, Baby Kato! Made for Zaar Stars.

Truly outstanding. I skipped the sugar rim and whipped cream because yesterday was Thanksgiving and I need to make amends for dietary sins I committed. My booze of choice was Kahlua, Mozart Black and Goldschlagger. YUMMM. Rich, warm and very sensual. This would be the perfect thing to share with a good friend while having a good winter chat by the fireside.
