I was told that whiskey is great to put into coffee. But how much or how little? And if you do this, do you need any other additives in the coffee to make the taste agreeable? Or is the whiskey/alcohol of choice, good enough?
I know about Frangelico but all those liquers are far too sweet and syrupy, and probably loaded with crap.
For those of you who like to add spirits into your coffee, how often do you imbibe this combination?

Whiskey’s good but you may need to add sugar.
Don’t add milk/cream.
Also dark rum works pretty well.
Don’t generally mix booze with non-booze but know people who do.

Ok whiskey is the most common but this is much better (I’m Irish so I shouldn’t say this) Cuban dark rum. Place a spoon of sugar in a glass and top it with rum. Set fire to the rum for a few seconds and put the fire out by pouring coffee on top to fill the glass.

Sambuca or Anisette. A Cafe latte with anisette (called cafe anise in some places) is a great end to a meal.
There is also a drink that is more of a dessert than a cup of coffee. In a large mug or Cervoise Stemmed Beer Glass:
1) Pour a bit of Patron Coffee Liqueur (there are other tequilas that have coffee infused into them too) into the bottom.
2) Fill with hot coffee
3) Top with whipped cream (you can drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup on it at that point. The best is always home made).
I put hooch in my coffee about twice a month.

Try Carlsberg Special Brew. Make sure you use nothing but the cheapest instant coffee though, as this cocktail will cause your stomach to eject its own contents. Good luck…..
