Café Del Sol

No matter what time of year or type of weather coffee and liquor always are a great combination.  I came up with this drink for a party in December of 2014 because the host wanted a type of Mexican coffee cocktail for her guests, that isn’t just coffee with a shot of tequila.  I based this drink on a brandy Alexander which includes: espresso, half and half, tequila and dark cream de cacao and the result is it was a hit, one of the most ordered drinks of the night.  It’s simple to make and will work as a cocktail or after dinner drink.
