A gourmet coffee drink is a high-end version of a traditional coffee, typically made with high-quality ingredients and unique flavour combinations. Using your own gourmet flavoured coffee or espresso as a base you can make countless of tasty treats at home. Gourmet coffee drinks can vary from lattes and cappuccinos to exotic ice cream drinks. Some may contain alcohol which can be very relaxing after a stressful day at work.
Here are some of my favourite recipes to spice up a normal cup of coffee that will impress your friends and family and add some conversation and fun to your dinner parties.
Irish Coffee
Irish coffee is a warm and comforting drink that combines the flavours of coffee, whiskey, and cream. Easy to make, this is a classic and the most popular coffee drink.
Galliano Hot Shot Coffee
The Galliano Hot Shot Coffee is a warm and comforting coffee drink that is perfect for a cold winter day. This is a fantastic take on the classic old fashioned drink with sweeter, dark roasted coffee notes
Southern Slide Coffee
The Southern Slide coffee, typically served in the southern United States, is not the most popular coffee but, trust me, it’s worth to try. Great summer drink that will surely impress your guests.
Irish Russian Coffee
Irish Russian coffee is a great alternative to the classic Irish coffee. It is a warm and comforting drink that is perfect for cold weather or as a nightcap. The combination of coffee and vodka creates a unique flavour, and the addition of Irish cream gives it a nice sweetness.
Black Russian Cocktail
The classic Black Russian is a simple two-ingredient cocktail made with coffee liqueur and vodka. The traditional recipe typically calls for equal parts vodka and coffee liqueur to be poured over ice. Simple, yet tasty and it’s everybody’s favourite.
White Russian Cocktail
I love “The Big Lebowski” movie and if you are like me, you know that this is “Dude’s” favorite cocktail. This coffee is the white version of the famous Black Russian and is one of the best, simplest, and most popular vodka cocktails you’ll find.
Jamaican Coffee Cocktail
A Jamaican Coffee cocktail is a famous twist on traditional Irish coffee that combines coffee with Jamaican rum, coffee, coffee liqueur and whipped cream. Perfect drink for cold winter nights.
Bull Rider Cocktail
Bull Rider cocktail is my wife’s favourite drink so I make it all the time. It’s a perfect pick-me-up afternoon beverage. Bull Rider cocktail has a lovely aroma of juicy tropical fruits. It is a classic and is enjoyed by many.
Cafe Amaretto
Cafe Amaretto is a type of coffee or espresso drink that is flavoured with Amaretto, an almond-flavoured liqueur. It tastes both sweet and bitter and can be served as a desert or a night-cap. It has a very distinct flavour that is hard to forget. It can also be served over ice for a refreshing summertime treat.
Kahlua Mudslide
By far my favourite milkshake. The Kahlua Mudslide is a popular cocktail made with Kahlua, vodka, Irish cream, and sometimes ice cream. It is known for its rich, creamy flavour and coffee-chocolate taste, making it a favourite among coffee and dessert cocktail enthusiasts.
It is important to remember that these recipes contain alcohol and should be consumed responsibly and by legal drinking age adults. Always be aware of the responsible serving of alcohol and do not mix alcohol and driving.
