Although the name may suggest otherwise, this cocktail does not contain or let alone even taste like coffee; instead it is made with a blend of Cognac, port, egg and sugar, and serves as a delicious post-dinner coffee substitute.

Ingredients

1 whole egg
1 ounce Cognac
2 ounces ruby or late-bottled vintage port
1 teaspoon sugar
freshly grated nutmeg to garnish

Directions

Place the egg, Cognac, port and sugar into a cocktail shaker and then fill with ice.
Shake the mixture vigorously for at least 50 seconds and then strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish with the freshly grated nutmeg and serve immediately.
