How to Make Mustang Coffee?

Step 1

Begin by making our espresso base. Brew two shots of your favorite espresso using your trusty espresso machine. I am taking a total of around 90 ml here. Espresso brings bold flavors that perfectly complement our cocktail.

Step 2

Now, let's introduce a Himalayan twist with 1 shot (approximately 45 ml) of Raksi. Originating from the mountainous regions of Nepal, India, and Tibet, Raksi is a clear, powerful drink similar to vodka or gin. It's made through distillation, usually from fermented grains like kodo millet or rice. You can expect it to have high alcohol content ranging from 40% to 50%.

Step 3

Here's where the magic happens – add around 1 tablespoon of unsweetened butter. Adjust it to your taste preferences; more if you like it that way, less if you're very careful about your butter intake.

Step 4

To balance the boldness, add in some brown sugar. I'm going with 1 tablespoon for a lightly sweet profile, but feel free to sweeten it up more if that's your way. For an extra twist, consider maple syrup or milk. Stir it nicely before that first sip.

What is Mustang Coffee?

The "Mustang Coffee" cocktail is a unique beverage that combines bold espresso with Raksi, a Himalayan distilled drink similar to vodka or gin.

The addition of unsweetened butter and brown sugar adds richness and sweetness to the drink, creating a complex and flavorful cocktail.

It is different from traditional coffee cocktails. It offers a blend of strong coffee flavors with the unique characteristics of Raksi and the smoothness of butter.

What to Eat With It?

You can choose chocolate cake, tiramisu, caramel flan, nuts, cheese platters, spicy snacks, pancakes, etc with it.

However, you can go beyond them as well.

Wrapping up

That's all for this recipe round. I hope now you know how to brew delicious Mustang coffee at home in no time.

If you are looking for the taste of an extraordinary coffee cocktail, Mustang Coffee is perfect to savor the unique blend of strong coffee, Raksi, and comforting buttery goodness.

Now, you just need to gather your ingredients, make your espresso machine ready, and try this mouth-watering drink.

Whether you're sipping it solo or want a showstopper for your parties, Mustang coffee is a flavorful escape.
