How to Make an Authentic Rüdesheimer Coffee with Asbach Brandy and Cream

This Authentic Rüdesheimer Coffee is a warm coffee drink combining strong brewed coffee with heated Asbach brandy, sugar, sweetened whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. The brandy is ignited with sugar to dissolve it, creating a layered flavor with a slightly caramelized taste. The drink is topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream and finished with chocolate shavings, balancing warmth, sweetness, and a creamy texture.

Ingredients

  • 3 sugar cubes (or teaspoons)
  • 1 hot brandy (or another dry brandy)
  • 4 oz coffee brewed, strong
  • 2 Tbsp Whipped Cream sweetened with a little vanilla sugar
  • ½ tsp chocolate shavings

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sugar cubes into the mug. Heat the brandy in the microwave for about 30 seconds then pour onto the sugar cubes. Using a long match, carefully light the brandy in the mug.
  2. Stir with the long spoon until the sugar has completely dissolved. (If the flame doesn't extinguish after a minute, place a plate over the top of the cup.)
  3. Pour the coffee into the cup with the sugar and brandy.
  4. Finally, top with the slightly sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings. You have now made an authentic Rüdesheimer coffee!

Notes

  • Omit brandy for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Skip whipped cream to make a dairy-free drink.
