hey all, I've just got some information regarding the subject for you, as follow,

if you like coffee and you think to yourself, “What else can I do with the black gold?” The best alternative option for coffee is alcoholic coffee drinks, the “special coffee” drinks like cafe au lait or even coffee cake.

Alcoholic Coffee Recipes
Sometimes known as Specialty Coffees, in some there parts.

I haven’t included the measurements here because the best way to experience these fantastic coffee tastes is to experiment; like when you were in your Grade 12 chemistry class (without the frogs and sulfur).

* A Winer’s Coffee: Muscadet wine blended with a dash of sugar, coffee, cinnamon and orange peel.
* Irish Coffee that clicks its heels: Irish blended whiskey, coffee, pizza (no, not pizza…just trying to see if you’re paying attention), brown sugar and whipped cream. Rim the mug with sugar and sprinkle the whipped bundle of love with chocolate crumbles.
* The Gabitous: Baileys, Crème de Menthe and Crème de Cacao with a splash of coffee, in a tall glass, rimmed with sugar and filled with ice. The odd maraschino cherry or paper umbrella wouldn’t go amiss here.
* N’Orleans Coffee: Coffee, cognac, Benedictine, cloves and sugar.
* The Nelmes: Thick Turkish coffee layered with cream and dashed with Baileys. Use a glass, pour ingredients individually on a spoon to get colored layers and drizzle with Brown Cow chocolate syrup. Sprinkles are good too.
* Starbuck’s Coffee Liquor: It isn’t sold in Starbuck’s only in places licensed to sell alcohol. Just drink it neat or on the rocks. Or throw it into a Starbuck’er: Dry vermouth and Starbuck’s coffee liquor…it’s rejolting!
* The Anna Bella Martini: 1 shot of classic Italian espresso, 1 shot of Godiva liquor, 2 shots of chilled vodka… Shake with ice and decorate with a few floating chocolate covered coffee beans…Bellissimo!

* Your Own Ratamatazz: Blend coffee with a few of these alcoholic beverages for a nice winter warm-up. Serve it cool over ice, blend with cream and wowee…good and fun.

May’s Coffee Cake Recipe

It doesn’t have to have coffee in it, but it is more of an accompaniment to the real deal. May’s Coffee Cake is to die for and you can replace the walnuts for cherries, blueberries, almonds or chocolate and top with brown sugar blended with cinnamon and butter.

* 1 ½ cup of all-purpose flour
* 1 box of pudding mix (instant… banana is my favorite)
* 1 tbsp of baking powder
* 1/3 cup of butter
* 1 egg
* ¼ cup of sugar
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ½ a cup of walnuts

Beat the butter, sugar and egg. Blend in the flour, salt, baking powder, milk and pudding mix. Ensure the soon to be coffee cake has an even consistency. Stir in walnuts and bake in a loaf tin at 375° F for 20-25 minutes. Cool, pick-off cat hair and eat. Drink with your favorite coffee roast, like Seattle’s Best!

Makes one loaf or 12 muffins.
