There are probably as many varieties of liqueur coffee as there are liqueurs. We would like to suggest that you make any or all of them with healthy organic coffee, preferably one of the Colombian organic coffee brands. Here is a list of some of the varieties of liqueur coffee and then we present a recipe or two.
How Do You Make Liqueur Coffee?
- Use a clear liqueur coffee glass and pre heat it
- Add 25 ml of liqueur of choice
- Mix in one teaspoonful of raw cane sugar, preferable organic
- Use a strong Americano coffee although some prefer espresso
- Fill the glass to one inch from the top with coffee
- Add slightly whipped cream, pouring over the back of a spoon so that it layers over the top of the coffee and liqueur mixture
