Our Mont Blanc Coffee Cocktail topped with meringue is a combination of after-dinner drink and dessert. Made with vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso and meringue, we show you how to prepare this cocktail yourself – and create the perfect finishing touch to an enjoyable dinner with friends.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml cold espresso
  • 200 ml vodka
  • 100 ml coffee liqueur
  • 50 ml crème de cacao
  • 50 ml amaretto
  • 2 large eggs (vegan alternative: 4 tbsp aquafaba)
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • Ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1: Meringue

For the meringue topping, begin by adding the sugar to 3 tablespoons of water in a saucepan. Simmer gently over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. In the meantime, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites until you have a thick foam, and then slowly add the hot sugar syrup. Continue beating until the mixture is glossy and stiff (about 5 minutes).

Vegan alternative: replace the egg whites with aquafaba and beat with the sugar until stiff.

Step 2: Mix the cocktail

Pour the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, crème de cacao and amaretto into a cocktail shaker and add a handful of ice. Shake well and then strain the mixture into four cocktail glasses (about 150 ml).

Step 3: Flambé

Top the glasses with the meringue or whipped aquafaba, and carefully flambé the foam with a kitchen blowtorch as required.

Your coffee cocktail should not only look good for your guests – it should taste great, too. Therefore, it’s important to pay attention to the quality of the ingredients. Good-quality vodka, coffee liqueur, crème de cacao and amaretto form the basis of this cocktail – and a fine choice of espresso perfectly rounds off the flavour. Espresso Monaco from our Dallmayr Röstkunst (art of roasting) range is made using 100% arabica beans, and strikes an ideal balance with the Mexican coffee liqueur and the vodka.

Our tip:

The Mont Blanc Coffee Cocktail also tastes great with non-alcoholic alternatives. Almond extract or other nut flavourings, combined with a dash of vanilla syrup, give the drink an additional “kick” as a substitute for amaretto.
