Espresso martini
We love espresso martinis! One of the coolest cocktails around, this punchy little number blends hot espresso and vodka for the ultimate party drink. This classy glassful is easier to make than you think.
Irish coffee
If you’re into coffee cocktails, try experimenting with this decadent, boozy coffee using different spirits like bourbon, cognac, dark rum or amaretto.
White russian
Vodka, coffee liqueur and cream is all it takes to make this smooth, classic cocktail. Serve in an old fashioned glass, to be really authentic.
Baileys cocktail
Coffee and Baileys are perfect partners in this creamy evening cocktail, garnished with chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Irish coffee affogato
Affogato is the ultimate cheat’s pudding. Adding a slug of any spirit or liqueur you fancy (we've used Irish whiskey) makes it even more grown-up.
Chai white russian
Colder autumn months call for the warming spices of chai. We’ve used the spice to infuse milk for a wonderfully aromatic twist on a classic white russian.
Revolver cocktail
Elevate your festive tipple! Beyond the espresso martini, indulge in a caffeinated Christmas sipper with this unique twist on a Manhattan.
Iced coffee
Iced coffee is a brilliant way of keeping cool and getting your caffeine fix, all in one. You can add a splash of your favourite liqueur to make it a boozy treat.
Black russian
Make this classic dark cocktail with vodka and coffee liqueur. Serve in an old fashioned glass with ice for an elegant after-dinner drink, or try our fun flavour twists.
Gingerbread espresso martini
This velvety smooth espresso and gingerbread cocktail is the perfect warmer for chilly days – or as a cheeky, alcoholic alternative to pudding.
Coffee syrup
Make a batch of this rich, syrupy concoction to flavour drinks with a coffee hit.
Boozy orange coffee
We’ve used Cointreau to add a citrussy, boozy kick to black coffee. Gently float a little double cream on top for a creamier drink.
