No-Buzz Nightcap: The Best Decaf Coffee Cocktail Recipes
Are
you the kind of person who loves bold tastes? Does your palate savour and
relish spirited flavours found in coffees and liquors? If so, this blog post is
for you.
Below, Caffè di
Artisan shares five of the best decaf coffee cocktail recipes for you to try. And since
they are decaf, you won’t have to worry about the caffeine buzz keeping you
awake.
Boozy
Coffee Milkshake with Salted Caramel Sauce
Nightcaps are often
sweet and, in some ways, stands in as an adult dessert. A prime example is the
boozy coffee milkshake with salted caramel sauce.
It all starts with a large blender. Fill it with ½ cup ice cubes, 2 Caffè di Artisan decaf coffee
pods, 1 cup cold milk of your choosing, 2 scoops of ice cream (vanilla works
best), 1 shot of Whisky or rum, and 2 tablespoons salted caramel sauce.
Blend until light and
frothy. Feel free to tweak the measurements of coffee or Whisky to match your
personal preferences.
Coffee Cocktail with Whisky
While the above recipe
is a guaranteed winner, some folks prefer warm drinks before bedtime. If this
describes you, you might be more inclined towards the coffee cocktail with Whisky.
Begin by pouring 2
Caffè di Artisan decaf coffee pods into a serving glass. Froth it for 30
seconds before adding 1 cup hot water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix well. Pour ¼
cup Whisky into the liquid coffee mixture and stir quickly. Once complete, top
with whipped cream and powdered cinnamon.
Tipsy
Pumpkin Latte
If you love fall flavours,
you’ll absolutely adore the tipsy pumpkin latte. Of course, you won’t have to wait until autumn
to make this drink. Serve it year-round to delight guests or simply enjoy it
on a quiet night with your spouse.
First, brew a cup of Caffè di Artisan’s decaf coffee. Then add 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon
ground cinnamon, stirring until the ingredients are nearly dissolved.
Next, add ¼ cup
RumChata and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie vodka. Serve warm with a light layer of
whipped cream and ground cinnamon on top. Delicious!
Decaf
Hot White Russian
Our next suggestion
for a no-buzz nightcap is the ever-classic hot white Russian.
In a saucepan, stir 2
to 3 cups of Caffè di Artisan decaf coffee according to your taste preferences.
Next, add ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup Kahlúa (or a similar coffee-liqueur), and ¼
cup vodka (or to taste). Heat the mixture over moderate heat. The goal isn’t to
cook the concoction, but rather to warm it up.
Divide evenly amongst
two to three mugs, add whipped cream. How easy was that?
Decaf
Affogato Martini
Last but not least is
the decaf affogato martini. As you might expect, it is ice cream with a
coffee- and alcohol kick.
Add 2 ounces of
vanilla vodka into a shaker along with a 1 decaf coffee pod and one ounce of
Kahlua. Include 3 or 4 ice cubes and share with vigour. Pour the alcoholic
mixture over ice cream in a martini glass. Add any topics you like including
caramel, salt, cocoa powered, or even cherry.
