Gourmet Coffee Drinks with Liquor

Gourmet Coffee Drinks with Liquor

Gourmet coffee drinks can be enhanced with a wide variety of flavors and spices, and the same is true for alcoholic beverages. However, among the most popular additions are rum and whiskey, as well as liqueurs such as brandy, cognac, crème de menthe, crème de cacao (including amaretto), anisette (including Irish cream), Kahlua and Tia Maria, Cointreau and Grand Marnier, Galliano and Frangelico (all of which are made in Italy). 

 

Drinks containing these liquors can be mixed together with coffee or espresso, whether it’s hot or cold brewed, and they can also be added to a cup of coffee on their own, if desired.

 

 If you prefer, you can also add a small amount of kirsch, vodka, tequila, or gin to your coffee along with curaçao, crème de banana, cherry liqueur, calvados, Benedictine, Tuaca, Strega, Sambuca, or Drambuie, depending on your personal preference and taste. 

 

Try varying the amount and combination of liquors you use in each drink, as well as the amount of coffee, milk, flavors and spices (if any), and other ingredients (if any) that you wish to include. Who knows? Some of your own interesting concoctions might emerge from this experience.

In this chapter, you’ll find recipes for hot and cold beverages made with freshly brewed coffee or espresso. Enjoy!
