Espresso Cocktail

Coffee is a great flavor for cocktails and mixed drinks and can be added in a variety of ways. Whether it be hot coffee, chilled espresso, a coffee liqueur or one of the newer espresso-infused vodkas, these cocktails all include the great taste of java and are fun to explore.

The most popular way to add the flavor of coffee to mixed drinks is to use one of the coffee liqueurs or, more recently, an espresso-infused vodka (i.e. Three Olives or Van Gogh). There are many coffee liqueurs that can be used in many of these drinks, with Kahlua being the most popular and Tia Maria and Patron Cafe as options. Every now and then a cocktail may also call for coffee brandy, which often tends to be a cheap alternative but fitting for some drinks and rather tasty on its own.
