Cozy Up with Coffee and Cheer: A Festive Cocktail for Two
What’s better than a delicious coffee cocktail that perfectly captures the magic of the Christmas season? This post is all about a cozy, wintery drink for two—made with rich cold brew coffee, Kahlúa (or homemade coffee liqueur), a lot of non-alcoholic eggnog, and my beloved Kraken spiced rum. It’s the kind of cocktail that turns a chilly evening into a warm, festive memory, with just the right balance of indulgence and holiday spirit.
Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to celebrate the season?
Under the motto “Coffee in Good Spirits,” this drink combines all the cozy flavors of Christmas into a glass. The cold brew coffee brings a bold, smooth base, while the spiced rum and liqueur add just the right amount of festive kick.
And yes, there’s plenty of liqueur—but don’t worry, the non-alcoholic eggnog keeps things balanced so you won’t be knocked out after one glass. After all, you’ll want to stay awake for some holiday chatter with your loved one, right?
Ready to bring some merry magic to your evening? Let’s dive into this festive recipe and toast to the most wonderful time of the year!
Ingredients you need
- Cold brew – homemade or store-bought
