For all my friends which is about 90% of you are under 10 feet of snow here is something to warm you up.  Spanish coffee is a classic coffee cocktail.  Just be careful as you light the 151 on fire to get the desired caramelizing on the sugared rim.

3/4 oz. 151-proof rum

Glass: sugar-rimmed red wine or Irish coffee glass

Add the rum and the triple sec to the sugar-rimmed glass and carefully ignite. Add Kahlúa (the flame should go out at this point) and top with hot coffee. Garnish.
