description Café Royale Overview
Café Royale is a hot coffee preparation in which a sugar cube soaked in brandy or cognac is ignited over black coffee, allowing the sweetened spirit to melt into the cup. The flame and spoon presentation distinguish it from ordinary coffee with liquor, and some recipes finish it with a small amount of cream or half-and-half. It is generally served as an after-dinner drink, although ingredient ratios and the use of cream vary.
