Hot Frenchman

The Hot Frenchman is a delightful and warming cocktail that is perfect for cold winter nights. This cocktail combines the rich flavors of coffee and cognac with the spiciness of cinnamon and cloves. The result is a comforting and invigorating drink that will warm your soul.

To make a Hot Frenchman, you will need a few simple ingredients and a little bit of patience. Start by brewing a strong pot of coffee. While the coffee is brewing, gather the remaining ingredients: cognac, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and brown sugar.

Once the coffee is ready, pour it into a large mug and add a shot of cognac. Next, add a cinnamon stick and a few cloves to the mug. Stir in a spoonful of brown sugar to sweeten the drink.

Now it's time to let the flavors meld together. Place the mug in the microwave and heat it for about 1-2 minutes, or until the drink is hot but not boiling. Be careful not to overheat the drink, as it can become bitter.

Once the Hot Frenchman is warmed to your liking, carefully remove the cinnamon stick and cloves. Give the drink a final stir to incorporate the flavors and serve it immediately. You can garnish the drink with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, if desired.

The Hot Frenchman is a versatile cocktail that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a dessert. Its rich and complex flavors make it a great after-dinner drink, perfect for sipping by the fire on a cold winter night.

So, the next time you're in the mood for a warm and comforting cocktail, give the Hot Frenchman a try. It's sure to become a favorite in your winter drink repertoire!
