Drambuie & Coffee Cocktail

For an even creamier texture, try frothing your milk or cream before adding it to the coffee.

If you want to add a bit of spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to complement the flavors in the Drambuie.

To turn this into a cold coffee drink, use cold brew coffee and serve over ice. Top with whipped cream as usual.
