Boozy Iced Coffee

Ideas for Boozy Iced Coffee concoctions, whether the weather is hot, cold, or somewhere in between!

This time of year it seems like the weather is going through a pretty intense identity crisis.

We ate our lunch alfresco on Saturday, then spent Sunday night shivering under the covers after our preemptive thermostat adjustments.

No matter what the weather is throwing at me, I simply HAVE to start my day with coffee.

I typically make a lot more coffee than I need to drink in the morning, then save the leftovers in the fridge so I can have iced coffee later on.

On the weekends, I sometimes like to stir a little booze into my iced coffee. It’s like flavoring syrup, but BETTER.

I’ve tried quite a few alcoholic coffee drinks over the years, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you.

The list is divided into hot weather vs. cold weather ideas, just because I love you and I know you needed it to be that way.

Boozy Iced Coffee: Mix-In Ideas

Cold Weather

• Whiskey (duh)
• Spiced Rum (like Captain Morgan’s)
• Cinnamon Whiskey (like Fireball or Sinfire)
• Cinnamon Schnapps (like Goldschlager)
• Peppermint Schnapps (like Rumple Minze)
• Almond Liqueur (Amaretto)
• Rum + Butter Extract (trust me on this one!)

Hot Weather

• Orange – (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
• Coffee Liqueur (like Kahlua) – add some vodka + cream and you’ve got yourself a White Russian 😉
• Bailey’s Irish Cream
• Caramel Vodka
• Whipped Cream Vodka
• Coconut Rum
• Hazelnut Liqueur (Frangelico’s)

Also, try our Espresso Martini, it is so good!

Alright, these coffee alcohol drink recipes are starting to make me pretty darn thirsty.

I hope you see some new ideas here to expand your caffeinated joy from the standards of vodka and coffee or whiskey and coffee.

I know it’s only February and might not *exactly* be iced coffee season yet, but Spring is right around the corner and I can’t wait to sit out on the patio with some girlfriends and sip a boozy iced coffee!

Last summer I went about 90 days without any alcohol as part of a fitness regimen I participated in, but I totally cheated when I went down to Phoenix for a blogger’s retreat. When I got there, my friend Nicole (who blogs over at The Marvelous Misadventures of a Foodie) picked me up from the airport and drove me to a restaurant after I demanded Mexican food.

I ordered a Sangria with my lunch and she ordered…. water. Suddenly, I felt like that awkward alcoholic friend, so I offered her a sip of my drink. She turned it down, so that was when I REALLY knew she thought I was a freak. She blogs about cocktail recipes all the time, so I just figured she didn’t want an adult beverage that day and forgot all about it.

Well, until she finally fessed up a few weeks later and told me she’s totally preggers!

Today, a bunch of her foodie friends (ahem, myself included) decided to host a virtual Baby Shower for her by sharing pizza, brownies, and booze recipes (her favorites!). She’ll have to wait a little bit longer to have a glass of boozy iced coffee herself, but I know she’s drinking with me in spirit 😉

If you like your coffee sweet, you can also add some simple syrup.

If you don't have simple syrup, just add regular sugar to your coffee when it is still hot so it dissolves. Then, pop it in the fridge to cool and use it as directed in the recipe.
