“Pharisäer” ( German: Pharisäer ) - a hot coffee drink in German cuisine , prepared with the addition of rum and whipped cream .
According to legend, the drink appeared in North Frisia on the island of Nordstrand in the 19th century, when an ascetic pastor named Georg Blayer served there. In his presence, the locals dared to drink only coffee. Secretly add rum to coffee and hide the smell of rum under a hat of whipped cream in 1872 guessed on the christening of a child of one of the peasants. The ascetic pastor, of course, was served coffee without rum. But somehow, the pastor guessed the trick of his parishioners, perhaps by mistake taking a sip from someone else's coffee cup, and exclaimed indignantly: “Oh, Pharisees !”
To prepare the “Pharisee”, add 40 milliliters of brown Jamaican rum to strong sweet black coffee and garnish with whipped cream on top. The Pharisees are not stirred, but drunk through the cream. By tradition, the one who stirs the Pharisee pays for the drink of the whole company. "Pharisee" is served in a tall cup-glass with a saucer. By tradition, a drinker of 8 "Pharisees" can pick up this glass. However, the owner of the institution can always prevent this by timely increasing the dose of rum in the drink.
