Are you a coffee lover? Do you like to spice it up with some alcohol? For all those iced coffee, bourbon fanatics out there, sipping one of these after your meal will be delightful. Make it with homemade cold brew for more intense flavour.

I am a coffee lover. I drink it everyday, several times a day. I don’t function well till I have my morning cup of freshly brewed joe. Having an afternoon latte is my favourite way to have a bit of “me time”. Adding a delicious little treat with it doesn’t hurt either. I’m not picky, brownies, tarts, cookies, all work for me.

When it comes to alcoholic coffees, they are in a league of their own. Whether they are cold or hot, specialty coffees are always a hit (remember drinking age only here). With so many variations, there is never a dull moment in your coffee drinking world.

FAVOURITE COFFEE DRINK

If I had to choose my favourite coffee drink, I would say a latte. Something about warm steamy milk that is so relaxing. Add in some flavours like vanilla, cinnamon or seasonal favourites like gingerbread, and I am a happy camper.

Making lattes at home is not as difficult as you may think. The most important part is quality coffee. If the coffee is crap, it’s all downhill from there. Grind freshly roasted beans for the absolute best flavour.

If you have some local coffee roasters in your area, pay them a visit. You just might be surprised at what you will learn from these coffee masters. We totally loved visiting Trebilcock Coffee Roasters. These guys sure know what they are doing, and we came home with some mighty fine beans too.

We don’t have a fancy espresso machine, (it is on the top of my wish list) we use a hand held frother (affiliate link) to make the foam. Now if only I could figure out how to do some awesome latte art I could really impress my guests.

ALCOHOLIC COFFEE DRINKS

The choice here is endless. You can use so many different spirits to make these delicious drinks. During the Christmas season, I don’t even know how many Rum & Eggnog Lattes go out of my kitchen.

My husband has been trying out some different brands of bourbons. The aroma of the vanilla/caramel tones is so appealing. Checking out his supply, Jefferson’s Reserve and Woodford Reserve were my choices of the day.

Summer is finally here, so some iced coffee with alcohol is name of the game for now. He was thrilled when I handed him this Boozy Bourbon Iced Coffee. Simple to make, easy to drink. I just used cold strong coffee, and bourbon. You can always sweeten if necessary, but the drizzle does take care of that for most people.

How can you go wrong with great coffee, excellent bourbon, whipped cream and some chocolate and caramel drizzle? Sounds like dessert in a glass to me. Nothing like ending your meal with a booze infused after dinner coffee.

  3. I love everything about this, and especially the idea of making it with locally roasted coffee. We have some great ones here in Princeton! The bourbon, whipped cream, and sweet toppings must just take this whole thing to the next level. What a perfect grownup treat!

  5. How delicious! We are staying with family at the moment, and this sounds like the perfect thing to whip up for the adults to sip by the pool after dinner 🙂

  9. OMG, I wish I could grab it out of the screen – it sounds so refreshing!!! I’ve recently developed a taste for bourbon and these days I’m experimenting a lot with it and this would definitely be a delicious treat to make.

  13. My hubby’s two favorite things, coffee and bourbon!!! He has been busy as a bee this weekend building my backyard oasis so this is going to be a nice treat for him tonight!!! I can’t wait to try it out.

  18. Yes, I’m a coffee drinker! Yes, I love a shot or two of an alcoholic beverage in my coffee. And yes, it would be a nice finish to my day. We used to have an espresso maker with a frother but it went kaput!! And you’re so right — the drink is only as good as the coffee. Now, you’re making me hanker for a good coffee drink. Have a great weekend.

  20. this sounds overly indulgence and like the perfect way to celebrate! I’m not a drinker so this isn’t necessarily for me.

  21. Absolutely awesome! I love iced coffees and I just love boozy coffees, so this one is definitely for me. My booze of choice is always Baileys but I’ll have to go get me some bourbon to try out!

    • HAHAH…well the iced coffee might help…but the bourbon probably would make you more tired.

  30. I also need a couple of good strong coffees every day so I can function! Alcoholic coffee is one of my favourite drinks to enjoy when I go out for dinner at the end of the meal but I’ve never tried a cold one before. I’m sure it’s really refreshing!

    • Yes you can never go wrong with a quick and easy after dinner drink…and dessert in one!!
