Happy National Coffee Month, ladies and gents. Instead of celebrating simply with your usual morning cup of joe, the hilarious Cooking Channel host duo of Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark have offered up a few tasty coffee cocktails that are sure you perk you up.
Carajillo 43
1-1/2 oz Licor 43
3 oz Espresso, chilled
Directions: “Pour ingredients in a glass over ice and serve. Pretend it was harder to make.”
Limoncello Iced Latte
1 oz Grand Marnier
1 oz Villa Massa Limoncello
2-1/2 oz coffee
Splash of cream
Whipped cream
Directions: “Pour Limoncello and Grand Marnier into glass coffee cup or mug, over ice. Top with coffee and cream, stir well, then garnish with whipped cream–because you deserve it.”
Orange You Glad It’s Got Tequila?
1-1/2 oz. Reposado tequila
3/4 oz. Orange liqueur
3/4 oz. Espresso, chilled (we used NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto)
Directions: “Add all the ingredients to a tall glass or a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Stir with a long spoon (don’t shake) for 30 seconds to a minute, and strain into an up glass. Garnish with a strip of orange peel, spiraled inside the glass.”
Amaro Amore
1-1/2 oz. Rye or bourbon
3/4 oz. Averna amaro
1/2 oz. Espresso, chilled (we used NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto)
Directions: “Add first three ingredients to a tall glass or shaker. Add ice. Stir with a long spoon (don’t shake) and strain into an up glass. Garnish with one Luxardo cherry.”
