How do you make coffee with a shot?

What liquor goes best in coffee with a shot?

Is coffee with a shot usually served after dinner?

What is Coffee with shot?
Coffee with a shot is hot coffee combined with a measure of spirits or liqueur. It is often made with espresso, though brewed coffee works too, and the choice of alcohol varies—whiskey, rum and brandy are common options. It is a flexible drink rather than one recipe tied to a single place.
The coffee’s roasted bitterness meets the spirit’s warmth and, with a sweet liqueur, its aromatic sweetness. In many places it is served after a meal or as a leisurely evening drink, usually in a small cup. The listed nutrition is 60 calories per 100 g. For a lighter version, leave out added sugar and keep the pour modest; a little dark chocolate pairs well.
