Mexican Coffee
Fresh, drip coffee
1 oz. of White Tequila (example: Orendein brand tequila)
1 oz. Creme de Cacao liqueur
Whipped cream
In a glass, pour the shot of tequila first, then pour the hot coffee. Leave enough room at the top for plenty of whipped cream. Drop a dollop or three of whipped cream on top of the coffee, then drizzle a shot of Cream de Cacao liqueur on top.
I'm pretty simple in my coffee beverage choices, I like it with a shot of Kahula (Homemade is the best) or Baileys' (Homemade is the best and way more potent), Tia Maria, Frangelico - any "after dinner drink" is great in coffee... Check out the aperitifs section of your local liquor store.

2 c. white sugar
4 c. water
2 oz. instant coffee
