We all know and love coffee, but only some particularly advanced connoisseurs realize that based on this wonderful drink, a whole range of very unusual hot cocktails can be made. Most of them contain alcohol, so they are ideal in cold weather or when it’s raining outside. Cocktails with coffee will help you quickly warm up; thanks to the caffeine content, they are guaranteed to lift your spirits and allow you to spend an evening full of comfort and warmth in the company of friends or loved ones.
Main ingredients of coffee cocktails:
- hot strong coffee;- basic high-proof alcohol (cognac, brandy, rum, whiskey, vodka, tequila, etc.);
- additional alcohol to give a special original taste (liqueurs);
- sugar and whipped cream to soften the taste;
- all kinds of spices to create a bright aftertaste (cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.).
Using the above set of ingredients, you can create many coffee cocktails. However, to make the drinks truly tasty, you should follow a few basic rules:
- Whenever possible, coffee should be prepared using a coffee machine rather than using a French press or Turk. This will make it more concentrated and rich, with a subtle nutty aftertaste. You can choose the type of coffee according to your personal taste, the main thing is its high quality and good roasting. Under no circumstances should you prepare coffee for coffee cocktails in advance, as the taste of the settled coffee can change greatly, and not for the better.
- Coffee goes best with rum, whiskey, various creamy and nut cocoa liqueurs, and, oddly enough, with vodka. Wines, vermouths and overly sweet fruit liqueurs are used very carefully and in measured doses. Attention, a drink that should be categorically excluded is gin. Its bitter herbal taste is completely incompatible with coffee!
- In cocktails with coffee, you don’t have to skimp on additional ingredients. If you need whipped cream, it is better to make it yourself rather than using ready-made ones from a can. It will turn out much tastier. Spices are added last and serve to give a bright flavor. They must be fresh and, of course, natural.
So, after we have familiarized ourselves with the basic rules for making coffee cocktails, I want to offer you several recipes:

How to make delicious cocktails at home?
Non-alcoholic cocktails
Coffee base is a win-win base for any cocktail, as long as it does not contain fresh berries. The drinks are thoroughly whipped in a blender or shaker to organically combine all the ingredients, achieve a mixture of flavors and textures and obtain the original color.

Alcoholic cocktails
Recipes for drinks containing alcohol require the inclusion of ingredients such as cognac, liqueur, whiskey, champagne, tequila, and vodka. They are intended for evening use to lift your spirits, relax after a working day, warm up and invigorate at the same time.
Coffee cocktails are usually prepared using a product brewed in a coffee machine in order to prevent grains of ground beans from getting into the glass. As an option, use high-quality instant coffee with a rich aroma and traditional bitter taste.
Homemade Baileys can be prepared directly in a glass in 10 minutes from vodka, condensed milk and coffee
Coffee, vodka and condensed milk are three simple ingredients for amazing cocktails, one of them can be prepared in 10 minutes:
- Brew strong coffee in a Turk at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. for 100 ml of water, leave to cool;
- Pour 50 ml of vodka into a cocktail glass, then pour in chilled coffee in a thin stream (you can follow the blade of a knife);
- add 50 ml of condensed milk in the same way.
The cocktail is served in this form along with a straw. Before use, you can lightly stir it with a straw to organically combine all the ingredients. This is a fairly strong evening drink, served with chocolate.
From the specified combination of ingredients you can prepare a cocktail for future use, similar to the famous Baileys.
- Beat 4 egg yolks with a packet of vanilla and a can of condensed milk using a mixer.
- Add 1 tbsp. l. instant coffee, beat again.
- Without ceasing to whip, pour in 400 ml of cream in a thin stream.
- Pour 500 ml of vodka into a glass container with a wide top, set it on fire and again pour into the coffee mixture in a thin stream, whisk.
The cocktail should be uniform in color and taste, but to improve the consistency and harmonize the taste, place it in the refrigerator for a day. Later pour into glasses, you can add whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Recipes with liqueur involve the use of creamy, caramel, chocolate and some fruit low-alcohol drinks to make the taste of the cocktail more pronounced, the aftertaste more pleasant, and the consistency thicker. It is not advisable to use berry and herbal liqueurs: they do not go well with coffee.
Banana is the best fruit for a drink, giving it not only taste and aroma, but also your favorite thickness
Cold coffee-banana cocktail is prepared according to the following recipe:
- Brew a cup of any strong coffee, let it cool completely;
- filter and pour into a blender;
- add 50 ml of heavy cream (20-30%), 1 tbsp. l. cognac and sliced banana (half), beat until smooth;

- 1 tsp. Grind sugar and instant coffee with egg yolk;
- bring 150 ml of heavy cream to a boil, add to the egg mixture and beat in a blender;
- add 1 tbsp. l. coffee liqueur, beat again;
- Pour into glasses, garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon crumbs.
Using a similar recipe, you can prepare a lot of other drinks, changing only the type of liquor in the list of ingredients.
Sambuca with coffee - Italian version
Perhaps the most unusual alcoholic drink, which is striking not so much in the list of ingredients as in the method of consumption, is a cocktail based on sambuca with coffee beans. His photo is presented above. The drink is based on the property of sambuca to burn beautifully, so before drinking it is set on fire along with the coffee beans it contains. The essence of the procedure is to obtain special vapors that are inhaled after the cocktail itself is drunk. It is very invigorating and tonic.
All coffee-based cocktails are considered energy drinks. They contain caffeine, which gives an impulse to the nervous system to stimulate motor and mental activity. However, they are not contraindicated for children, since most recipes contain milk and cream, which soften the effects of caffeine.

7 POPULAR LIQUEURS FOR COFFEE COCKTAILS
Since, according to the new legislation, we cannot write about existing alcohol brands and names, we had to write about fictitious ones.

IRISH COFFEE
Irish coffee is the cocktail that instantly comes to mind when you think of the combination of hot coffee and alcohol. This cocktail was created in the early forties of the last century by bartender Joe Sheridan, who worked at Shannon Airport, located near the Atlantic coast of Ireland. In those days, transatlantic liners from the United States often arrived at the airport, and in order to somehow welcome and warm tired passengers, Joe came up with a simple cocktail containing whiskey, strong coffee and sugar, based on the traditional Irish recipe for whiskey and tea.
The resulting alcoholic drink was very popular with Stanton Delaplane, a journalist from San Francisco, who in 1952 talked about it in his favorite American bar, Buena Vista. This is how Irish coffee gained its popularity in the USA. Then the recipe was slightly changed: American bartenders began to add high-fat cream on top of the cocktail.
CAFE BRULOT
This hot coffee cocktail also has a long history, having been invented in New Orleans in the 1890s and served as an afternoon digestif. It is also called “devil’s coffee” for its fiery, spicy taste.
COFFEE PHARRISE
This simple coffee cocktail was invented back in the 19th century in northern Germany. According to legend, the pastor of one small town introduced a ban on alcohol, and local residents began to secretly add rum to their coffee, and put a high cap of whipped cream on top of the drink to fight off the smell of alcohol. At one of the local holidays, the pastor took a sip from someone else’s cup and, being extremely indignant, shouted: “Oh, Pharisees!” This is how this drink got its name.
KARSK
This simple cocktail based on vodka and coffee was first prepared in the Norwegian region of Bohuslän in the early 1880s and soon gained popularity throughout the Scandinavian peninsula. Translated from the Old Norse dialect, the name of this cocktail is associated with the adjective “agile” or “giving energy.”
MEXICAN COFFEE
Another variation on the same theme with the addition of tequila, which gives this simple cocktail its name.
HOT PORT FLIP
The so-called flip cocktails appeared in the 17th century and were hot drinks based on beer, strong alcohol, eggs, sugar and spices. Then beer began to be replaced with other ingredients, for example, coffee. Such cocktails were especially good in cloudy and chilly weather as an anti-cold and warming remedy. One of the classic flip cocktails is the Hot Port Flip.
COFFEE BRAZILLERO
At first glance, the cocktail may seem too sweet, but thanks to the combination of coffee and cachaca, which in turn neutralizes excessive cloying, it turns out to be unexpectedly delicate and invigorating.
MONK'S COFFEE
This traditional hot cocktail has a rich, sweet flavor thanks to the many liqueurs it contains. Whipped cream makes it almost a dessert. By the way, a great option to treat a girl.
CHOCOLATE NUT COFFEE
Another option for a pleasant hot coffee cocktail, which you can undoubtedly not only drink yourself, but also offer to a girl.
