Coffee Cocktails: Warm Drink Ideas
Coffee is not just a morning wake-up beverage. You can have a warm, tasty coffee-based beverage in the evening, or anytime, jazzed up for adults with liqueurs. Decaffeinated coffee can be used in place of regular, to keep you from getting a jolt of wakefulness after hours.
Try this delicious, nutty chocolate-hazelnut concoction: combine hot coffee with chocolate liqueur and hazelnut liqueur. Served in a wine glass, this is a sophisticated drink to help you unwind.
The classic Irish Coffee is comforting and rich. Mix a cup of hot coffee with good Irish whiskey and a bit of sugar, for a sweet and tangy drink. You can top this one with whipped cream for an even richer treat.
If you’re in the mood for something a little more exotic, try the French Connection cocktail, made with hot coffee, cognac and amaretto, topped with whipped cream and slivered almonds.

Whether piping hot or icy cold, coffee cocktails will surprise you with their versatility and deliciousness.
