Not Your Mama's Coffee

I don’t know about you, but I’ve cooked more in the last four months than I probably have in my life. In an effort to create normalcy during the quarantine, I’ve been very busy in the kitchen, making cakes, cupcakes, and dishes I’d have never imagined I’d ever cook or bake so that we could have memorable celebrations like birthdays and date nights. With things still unsettled in our world over the summer, we’ll have to get creative about how to spend our lazy days to give ourselves the much-needed break from daily happenings. So today, I’ve got something to get us going for all the coffee lovers. It’s the perfect cocktail for kicking back on the porch with that beach read you’ve been eyeing. I hope you enjoy it!

Not Your Mama’s Coffee

 

You will need:

Instant Coffee

Raw Sugar

Almond Milk

Cream Liqueur

Caramel Sauce

In a bowl, add

3 tablespoons instant coffee

3 tablespoons raw sugar

2 tablespoons water

Mix with a blender until it’s the consistency of sticky marshmallow cream. (This takes a while, by the way, so if you have a hand mixer, put that thing on high and grab a partner to take turns.)

In a glass, fill 

2/3 with ice

1/3 of iced glass with vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1/3 of iced glass with your choice of cream liqueur (for nonalcoholic, add heavy cream); I used Tennessee Cream Whiskey.

Stir.

Spoon the coffee mixture on top and drizzle with caramel.

If you try it, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Tag me on socials and show me some pics! I hope you enjoy it!
