Coffee For Adults: 5 Top Caffeinated Cocktails

Posted: 08/17/2012 10:41 am

Under ordinary circumstances, your morning cup of joe and your after-work tipple generally don't meet. But sometimes the spirit just grabs you, and you end up making exceptions.

A coffee cocktail is where these two storied beverages intersect, and this is definitely a case of the sum being greater than either of its parts. (That's not to mention the caffeine buzz.) In fact, these concoctions are the only type of "energy drink" we recommend.

So, here are five of our favorite caffeinated cocktails. Check them out and then get to mixing. Cheers!

We’re not quite sure why this creation is called a Martini, but for the sake of mixological peace, we can look past the name. The drink depends heavily on the quality of your beans, so treat yourself to some truly high-end java.

Forgot my favorite: Large mug of coffee with a shot of cognac, a shot of Kahlua, and a shot of amaretto. Good to the last drop.

Nice post. Caffeinated cocktails are a great way to end an evening with friends. Irish coffee is always welcomed. Cowboy coffee is something I intend to try. Thanks and cheers!
