Mayan/Spanish/Mexican coffee

I've never seen that...VERY cool.

Just another reason I LOVE Cozumel and Mexico!

That certainly burns away a good chunk of the alcohol.

Had my first Mayan Coffee at La Veranda before they closed. Yum!

I remember being told: "A couple of Mayan coffees made by a couple of Mayans" before the ornate juggling began. Part of it was peeling an orange so that a spiral of orange peel was produced. This spiral was retained on a fork, and then the flaming liqueur was poured down the spiral into the coffee cup. Very nice.

It was someplace along the ocean front, southern end of town.

Rolandi's does it as well! We always watch, but have never ordered it ourselves.

If they ever did they don't anymore (I asked them). Too bad; the location would have been fantastic.

Wow Now I'm disappointed I don't order coffee & dessert LOL! I'm going to have to check that out. Personally, I'm still hunting for a decent iced coffee....

 

[cvchief]

decent {OR} iced coffee....

So which do you want?

 

[Pirata Canadiense]

LOL! Just saw that now... Both. I want it all dammit!!! Actually, I can make a decent coffee at home so I think I'll stick to that at this point. I can always throw in some ice

I don't believe we found it this year. In the old days we always went to Acuario for it, but that's long gone now. After that we ordered it at Capi Navegante, but now that's gone as well. Ditto for La Veranda, Santiago's, and La Morena. The guy at Costa Brava a couple of years ago told us he could do it, but although he gave it a valiant effort, it wasn't even close.

It's not just the coffee, Kahlua, tequila/brandy/xtabentun, caramelized sugar, ice cream, and cinnamon, it's also the performance. It is a vanishing art, it appears.
