Dark and Stormy Coffee Cocktail

A twist on a classic. This is a gorgeous summer coffee cocktail we found once on the BBC Good Food website. Good food? It certainly is.

Ingredients:

25ml tequila

25ml dark rum

30ml freshly brewed espresso (left to chill)

Handful of Ice

Bottled ginger beer

Method:

Fill a tall glass with ice.

Pour in the tequila and rum, stir to mix.

Fill the glass almost to the top with ginger beer, leaving room for the coffee.

Importantly, slowly pour in the espresso, so the ingredients don’t naturally mix.

Sip and enjoy!

Black Forest Espresso

We love this cocktail, its a great drink in the darker Winter or Auturm months, however there’s nothing stopping you from having one any time.

We love how the boozy Grey Goose cherry goes perfectly with the espresso – magnificent

This one is quite the boozy one – so go careful!

Ingredients:

40ml Grey Goose Cherry Noir

24ml Disaronno

30ml espresso

Dash of simple sugar syrup

Dash of cream

Garnish: grated espresso beans

Method:

To make the simple sugar syrup just mix sugar and hot water in equal parts until all the sugar has dissolved. You can make this in advance of your party.

Combine all ingredients except cream in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake vigorously and strain into a glass filled with ice.

Top with cream.

Garnish with grated espresso beans.

Enjoy those coffee cocktails!
