FAQs

What's the best liquor to put in coffee? ›

Irish whiskey is the classic choice for Irish Coffee, but any member of the whiskey family pairs well with an espresso-based coffee drink. Try cinnamon whiskey for a spiced-up option or maple whiskey for a seasonal note.

How do you spike coffee with alcohol? ›

Take your coffee up a notch with a shot of brandy and a spoonful of sugar, then top it with heavy cream. Did you know blackberries, raspberries and black currants pair well with coffee? They do. That's why Chambord made our list of liqueurs.

How alcoholic is coffee liqueur? ›

Coffee liqueur is a drink which is categorized under the beans liqueurs. The alcohol percentage is always around the 20 percent. The liqueur is made out of 96% alcohol, sugar, coffee beans and other ingredients.

Does coffee liqueur keep you up? ›

So, while most brands, such as Kahlúa or Mr. Black, use actual coffee to make their liqueur, the amount of caffeine is minimal when compared to straight-up coffee and shouldn't keep you up all night. If you cannot have caffeine, though, maybe this is a liqueur you should skip.
