Irish Coffee

Struggling to choose between coffee and cocktails? Struggle no more. These decadent spiked coffee recipes are sure to get a little buzz going—of both the caffeinated and alcoholic varieties. Stick to classic coffee cocktails like Irish Coffee, or experiment with cinnamon whiskey in Gingerbread Java, double the rum fun in Smuggler's Coffee, and reach for both chicory coffee and chicory liqueur in Southern Russian Punch.

Irish Coffee Jell-O Shots Recipe

If you're looking for an easy way to get the St. Patrick's Day party started, look no further than these Irish coffee-inspired Jell-O shots, featuring layers of Kahlúa-spiked coffee, Bailey's Irish cream, and Irish whiskey. We also included a bit of pecan liqueur (because it's delicious), but feel free to replace it with an additional 1/4-cup of Bailey's.

Drambuie Swing Swizzle Recipe

Vance Henderson, the U.S. Brand Ambassador for Drambuie, marries vanilla cold brew with scotch whisky for a polished coffee cocktail that, in his opinion, is out-of-the-box and "surprisingly harmonious." Seriously, this spiked coffee drink is worth the fuss and provides a killer buzz.

Southern Russian Punch Recipe

Try Cathead Hoodoo Chicory Liqueur from Jackson, Mississippi, to boost the bold chicory flavor. If you can't find chicory coffee, use any strong brewed coffee to make this riff on a White Russian. Rim the cups in turbinado sugar before ladling in the punch.

Doppia Bevande

EC: This Cold Brew Coffee Cocktail Is So Good It Needs Two Glasses

Doppia Bevande Recipe

Ingi Sigurdsson and Alexis Belton of The Aviary in Chicago modeled this coffee cocktail after an affogato, which is soft vanilla gelato paired with robust espresso. They call it the Doppia Bevande and serve it in two glasses that should be consumed side-by-side, so each part can show off its own unique personality.

Gingerbread Java Recipe

Marry the festive flavor of gingerbread with cinnamon liqueur, pumpkin pie spice, and fresh-brewed coffee. The result? A not-too-sweet drink that warms you from head to toe. If your holiday party falls on a rainy, cold night, consider serving it instead of eggnog.

Irish Coffee Recipe

Irish whiskey has a smooth, round flavor, as opposed to the smoky quality of Scotch whisky. If you don't have Irish whiskey, substitute bourbon.
