วิธีทำ

Stir the rum, coffee and water together. Top with the whipped cream. Sprinkle with a pinch of well ground coffee and drink with a straw.

Tropical Warm

Jamaican Coffee is a light, elegant coffee cocktail that combines rum with strong black coffee and cold water, topped with a crown of whipped cream and a pinch of finely ground coffee. Served in a champagne flute rather than a traditional coffee cup, it is a more refined and visually striking take on the rum-and-coffee format. The drink is sipped through a straw beneath the cream.

History & Origins

Jamaica has a long tradition of coffee cocktails, rooted in the island's production of world-renowned Blue Mountain coffee and its heritage of rum distillation. The combination of rum and coffee reflects the two crops that have defined Jamaican agriculture since the 18th century. The champagne-flute presentation is a modern refinement of the classic Irish Coffee format, popularized in upscale Caribbean hospitality.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Roasted black coffee and rum's tropical sweetness, with a rich, creamy whipped cream note and ground coffee's intensely aromatic surface. Palate: Light and refreshing yet complex — coffee bitterness is tempered by rum's sweetness and the water's dilution, with the cream adding a silky richness. Finish: Clean and bittersweet, with coffee and a gentle rum warmth.
