Alcoholic coffee drinks recipes, for cold evenings or an after-dinner treat.

Alcoholic coffee drinks make for a delicious touch at the end of a dinner with friends or family. 

In one sense, adding alcohol to coffee is a little peculiar. The alcohol makes you mellow, and the coffee perks you up.

Perhaps it is this blending of opposites that makes these drinks so attractive.

Bottom line... coffee plus alcohol gives us two of our favorite things in one yummy package. : )
