Mustang coffee explained

Mustang coffee is a liqueur coffee consisting of coffee, sugar or honey, butter, and raksi (a Nepalese rice or millet[1] wine), with the coffee's quantity double that of the rest of the ingredients. It is particularly famous in Nepal, especially in regions frequented by trekkers.

The coffee is made by browning a mixture of rakshi and butter in a hot pan, and then whisking in the sugar.[2]

Various other spirits can be used to make Mustang coffee, such as Khukuri rum.[3] The Nomad Lounge at Disneyworld serves a variant made with Crown Royal.[4]

Mustang coffee is named after the Mustang district of Nepal.[5]
