Here are some yummy Coffee Drink Recipes, sent to Lisabeeen from Chen of Chen's Gourmet Coffee Beans.....thanks Chen!

Coffee drink recipes are essential for anyone wishing to create tasty coffee drinks from the comfort of their own home without the expense of visiting a nearby coffee shop, while allowing you to add alcohol as desired. These recipes are extremely simple and often require ingredients that you already have within your kitchen. Feel free to experiment and alter the recipes in order to create a treat like no other.

Coffee Drink Recipes #1: Mocha Delight

Mochas are a very popular type of coffee, typically coming in chocolate or white chocolate flavors. The chocolate mocha is incredibly easy to make at home and only requires four ingredients: brewed coffee, cocoa powder (1 tablespoon), sugar (1 tablespoon), and milk (2 tablespoons). With these four ingredients you can create a tasty mocha that is sure to please your taste buds and make you the family favorite. Simply add the cocoa, sugar, and milk to your cup of coffee and you are ready to go! If the mixture is too sweet or contains too much chocolate flavor, simply alter it by reducing the cocoa powder and sugar.

Coffee Drink Recipes #2: Brulot (adult only)

For a unique citrus tasting coffee blend that is like no other, follow this relatively easy recipe. You will need the following ingredients: sugar (1 teaspoon), twist of orange peel, twist of lemon peel, brewed coffee (1 cup), cognac (1.5 ounces), triple sec (dash). Simply warm the cognac in a microwave safe glass. Add the coffee and triple sec. From here simply add in the lemon and orange peels. Add sugar as desired and top with cinnamon and whipped cream.

Coffee Drink Recipes #3: European Style

For European coffee you will need the following ingredients: coffee (1 cup), egg white, vanilla extract (1/4 teaspoon), and milk (2 tablespoons). Simply beat the egg whites thoroughly and then add in vanilla extract. Beat the egg again. Separate the mixture into two separate mugs and add coffee to each. Add the milk to each cup and sweeten as desired. Feel free to use Baileys instead of milk for an adult beverage like no other.

Coffee Drink Recipes #4: Swiss Style (adult only)

Making Swiss coffee is very simple, but requires a variety of different ingredients. You will need dark roast coffee (3 ounces), Kahlua (1 ounce), Tia Maria (1 ounce), Dark Cream de Cacao (1 ounce), and whipped cream. Simply add the alcoholic ingredients to the coffee and top with whipped cream. Add sugar and milk (or Baileys) if needed for a sweeter taste.

Most of these coffee drink recipes are for adults only, but can be altered to be family-friendly if needed. For the right coffee drink it may require experimentation to get the flavor exactly as desired by the drinker. Be creative and add a dash of cinnamon, Amaretto, or some other tasty ingredient to make your coffee drink complete.
