12 coffee cocktails to try right now in Vancouver
Here are twelve coffee cocktails that will help you quickly get through the day (or night).
1) The Latte:
This one’s a classic—add steamed milk, vanilla syrup, and an espresso shot to make your favorite drink even better!
2) The Americano:
This is the perfect drink for those who like black coffee (and bitter). It’s made with espresso, hot water, and no sugar or cream.
3) The Flat White:
If you’re not a fan of solid coffee drinks but still want some caffeine boost, try this one out! It uses half-caffeinated and half-decaffeinated beans so that you can enjoy some energy without feeling jittery.
4) The Espresso Martini:
If martinis aren’t your thing, then maybe this one will be. Don’t waste too much time on it, though, because it only lasts 15 minutes! It’s made with equal parts vodka and espresso shots so that it’s smooth and easy to drink anytime.
5) The Classic Irish Coffee:
This timeless favorite is made with whiskey, sugar, and freshly brewed coffee. It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a cold winter day.
6) Mocha Frappe:
A delicious blend of chocolate syrup or powder, espresso or strongly brewed coffee, milk (dairy or non-dairy), and ice – all blended until frothy, then served topped with whipped cream (optional).
7) Cafe con Leche Cocktail:
This Cuban-inspired cocktail is made with rum, condensed milk, instant espresso powder, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and water. So good!
8) The Elvis:
This drink is a nod to the King of Rock’n’Roll’s favorite beverage while also paying tribute to the iconic singer’s love of hot sauce and peanut butter.
9) The Bûche de Noël:
This one combines espresso with vanilla vodka and almond milk, which turns into a delicious Frappuccino-like treat.
10) The Chai Latte:
This sweet and spicy drink combines chai tea with honey, cinnamon, and ginger juice (think: spicy ginger ale).
11) The Kaffeine Martini:
This one’s simple but so good. It’s made with Kahlua, chocolate syrup, and vodka—all ingredients you’d find in a traditional martini. You could use any coffee or espresso drink instead of the Kahlua (be careful not to use too much).
12) The Iced Mocha Latte:
If you like your coffee iced, this is the perfect drink! It uses equal parts of chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream to make an icy treat that pairs perfectly with your favorite hot beverage.
