‌Georgian-style Coffee is a sweet, aromatic, and quite strong beverage. A portion of cognac or brandy will provide a warming effect, while the cream will smooth out the fiery bitterness of the alcohol. The spices will enhance the coffee notes and add a fragrant aftertaste. It’s an excellent drink for a leisurely evening after a busy day.
