5 coffee cocktails you can make at home

Coffee is one of the top three consumed beverages globally. It can also be considered a natural energy booster. It has always been my go-to drink when I need to stay awake, and for many others as well. Not just a wake-up but also a great refreshing drink. It won’t be wrong to call it ” The baap (Father) of all energy drinks. You can enjoy it at any time of day or in any season of the year. For now, we try to add some spirit to it. Here we have come up with five easy coffee cocktails you can make at home.

“How would you like your coffee?” is one of the most delightful phrases to hear. This is especially true when it’s delivered in a warm and welcoming tone. A sign that I might be at a coffee shop, but when it’s not, I’m sure I’m at home :). With all the different variants of it available in the market, it makes it challenging to settle on one. I recall being a DJ in Dubai and feeling quite exhausted one evening. This was noticed by a steward who came up and offered me a shot of coffee. I can’t recall what coffee it exactly was (I believe I was too drunk to notice), but I never slept after that;) . And this is how coffee became my energy booster.

It’s the first thing I have when I wake up and the last before I head to bed. Coffee is now, and will always remain, my best go-to drink. However, the plan is not to wake you up or put you to sleep, but to add some spirit to your coffee and make it more spiritFULL. Let’s make 5 easy cocktails with coffee that anyone could make at home.

Bourbon whiskey, as we are all aware, is made of at least 51% corn. This is where I first experimented with coffee in cocktails, and boy, it was an instant hit.

At a private party, of all the whiskey cocktails that were churned that evening, the bourbon coffee cocktail was the only one to run out of ingredients. Yep! We ran out of coffee powder, but bourbon was still flowing. This should be one spectacular reason enough for anyone to try this whiskey and coffee cocktail. Now, all you need is a bourbon whiskey. Coffee? That shouldn’t be an issue. If you love coffee, the bourbon coffee cocktail is one cocktail you don’t want to miss.
