Caramalised Rakia Cocktail

This is a recipe that was given to me from a Bulgarian friend. He had travelled quite a bit and can't remember exactly where he got it from, he said he's had a few Rakia when to was told to him!

The caramelised sugar is a lovely accompaniment to this cocktail and compliments the Rakia and rum perfectly. It takes less than fifteen minutes to make

For one serving, you will need:

100 mls double cream
1 tsp vanilla syrup
2 sugar cubes (white or brown)
25 ml rum
100 ml Rakia
Ground nutmeg

Method:

Mix the cream and the vanilla in a warmed serving glass or tumbler.

The rum should now be poured over the sugar in a metal dessertspoon and set alight. The sugar will caramelise shortly.

Add the Rakia into the cream mixture and stir in the freshly caramelised sugar.

Serve with a small sprinkling of nutmeg and enjoy.

Making it is almost as enjoyable as drinking it.
