I never quite understood combining coffee and booze since the early days of vodka red bull, when I woke up at 3am after maybe an hour’s sleep, and felt I’d never sleep again! Coffee is to simulate, booze is to relax.
The lovely local café to me does cocktail evenings with espresso martinis. But they make no sense to me, so I’ve never been.
Don’t mind them, but most are too sweet for me. Our friend Sarah who runs a branch of the London Cocktail Club makes them for me unsweetened but won’t share her recipe with me.
I think making it with a small amount of Tia Maria is much less sweeter than Kahlua.
Using cold brew coffee makes it more sophicated than an espresso
Got to play around with an Aeropress that my brother has acquired, whilst I was back visiting my folks. Really want one now. Need to check pricing for that plus a jug / thermometer.
Decaffeinated,…coffee the taste. Occasionally the taste is more important than the stimulation, in much the same way any flavour preference enhances an alcoholic drink to the one choosing
My Question was kind of rhetorical but Jon may have found a recipe that requires a jug and a thermometer or he might be buying them for something else!
