Coffee is surely our all-time favorite drink. It is the perfect way to kickstart a lazy morning. It is a great pick-me-up on a sultry afternoon. A glass of cold coffee with ice cream is all we need to add that finishing touch to our dinners. And this is what makes coffee so irresistible; it is versatile and can be made and enjoyed in so many different ways.
But when it comes to drinking and enjoying coffee, most people limit themselves to their cappuccinos and macchiatos. If you are one of them, you are missing out on some truly amazing flavors and recipes. The world of coffee is vast and there are tons of coffee recipes out there that are unique and incredibly delicious.
If you like being your own barista and want to diversify your coffee knowledge and experience, here are a few coffee recipes that you need to try:
-
Irish coffee
On those evenings when you want to indulge in a sinful dessert but need a caffeine kick, an Irish coffee is a perfect choice for you. It is sweeter than traditional coffee but this classic recipe is an easy and delectable dessert that can instantly elevate any meal. Traditionally, Irish coffee contains some amount of Irish whiskey as well, so you know you are getting your money’s worth with a cup of this.
-
Vietnamese iced coffee
Vietnamese iced coffee, as the name suggests, originated in Vietnam but it is immensely popular all around the world. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, it is super easy to make. All you need is water, condensed milk, dark roast coffee grounds, and ice cubes. Although the traditional recipe calls for Vietnamese-grown coffee, you can give it your own twist by making it with your favorite beans.
-
Coffee popsicles
Satiate your taste buds and cool your body down with a summer treat like no other. Make a batch of your favorite iced coffee and pour it into popsicle molds. You can also add mint for a fresh kick. This is a great summer dessert that will be an instant hit at barbecues and pool parties.

Café corretto
For those who love the idea of a coffee cocktail like Irish coffee but would love to tone down the sweetness, café corretto is for you. This is a classic Italian beverage that is made using espresso, grapa (an Italian digestive liquor), and a shot of brandy or Sambuca. It is decadent, luxurious, and gives you an amazing caffeine kick.

Affogato
Love your coffee and your ice cream? How about you combine the two to make this Italian drink? Affogato means “drowned in coffee” and the drink gets its name from the generous scoop of ice cream that accompanies the espresso. You can also use gelato.
