Coffee Liqueur

Coffee liqueur cocktails

Two Kahlúa-style drinks: Espresso Martini (needs a fresh shot) and White Russian (vodka and cream, no espresso).

Coffee liqueur cocktails here are the two recipes that name the shelf-stable coffee bottle. The Espresso Martini still wants a fresh espresso shot in the shaker plus vodka and the liqueur; the White Russian is vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream built over ice. There is no Black Russian or Mudslide in this catalog. Instant coffee is not a stand-in for the liqueur or for the espresso shot.

Coffee Liqueur cocktail FAQ

What cocktails can I make with coffee liqueur?

Espresso Martini and White Russian. The Martini needs espresso as well as the liqueur; the White Russian is vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream.

What to mix with coffee liqueur for an easy cocktail?

Vodka and heavy cream for a White Russian — no shaker, no espresso. Easy coffee liqueur cocktails stop there unless you can pull a fresh shot for an Espresso Martini.
