Strong Friendships: A Guide to Alcoholic Coffee

The union of coffee and alcohol becomes especially strong during the period of chilly wind and the first winter cold. This traditional combination of ingredients helps to quickly warm up, which is necessary at the first signs of a cold, and thanks to caffeine it has an invigorating effect.

Our guide will introduce you to hot alcoholic cocktails based on coffee, and also tell you about the basic rules and subtleties of their preparation.

BASIC COMPOSITION

An alcoholic cocktail with coffee is quite simple to prepare. In most cases it includes:

strong hot coffee;

main alcohol of high strength (whisky, rum, brandy, vodka, port, tequila and others);

additional alcohol to give a bright taste (various liqueurs);

sugar and whipped cream to soften the taste;

various spices for a bright aftertaste: (vanilla, cloves, nutmeg).

Based on such a set, you can create a lot of combinations. However, you need to remember a few simple but important rules.

BASIC RULES

Coffee

It is advisable to use coffee prepared using a coffee machine, rather than a French press or Turkish coffee. This makes it more concentrated and rich, with a subtle nutty aftertaste. You can choose the variety to suit your taste, the main thing is high quality and deep roasting. Under no circumstances should you prepare coffee for cocktails in advance, as its taste may not change for the better.

Alcohol

Coffee goes best with whiskey, rum, various creamy, nut and cocoa liqueurs, and also, oddly enough, vodka. When choosing alcohol, you need to be careful about drinks containing wine, vermouth and overly sweet fruit liqueurs. But gin should be excluded: its bitter, herbaceous taste is absolutely incompatible with coffee.

Additional Ingredients

When making coffee cocktails, don't skimp on additional ingredients. If you need whipped cream, it is better to make it yourself, rather than using ready-made ones from a can: their taste will immediately give away negligence. Spices are added at the very last moment to give a bright flavor. They must be fresh and, needless to say, natural.

Basic rules for creating alcoholic cocktails with coffee

It is better not to use pre-prepared coffee. Ideally, you should use a drink prepared in a coffee machine, but on a skinny horse you can also use a French press. A good solution would be to brew coffee in a Turk. Highly roasted varieties are suitable for making coffee.

We are talking about anise vodka, absinthe and sambuca.

Compatibility of coffee and alcohol

When talking about the compatibility of coffee and alcohol, you need to take into account not only the quantity, but also the method of consumption.
There is a difference between drinking a coffee drink after alcohol and before it. But the most important thing is the type of alcohol. Most often, cognac, brandy, liqueur, balsam and whiskey are consumed with coffee beans. There are also cases when, after drinking wine, beer and vodka, you want to drink an invigorating drink. It is worth noting that drinking beer with it is not recommended. Both drinks exhibit a diuretic effect, which negatively affects the condition of the kidneys, water-salt balance, and washes away calcium. After drinking wine, you should also avoid liquids with caffeine, as the wine drink relaxes. Caffeine has the opposite effect. Vessels expand and narrow, and this is a very heavy load. In general, we can conclude that the combination of alcohol and coffee is welcome only if the alcohol and coffee drink is of high quality, and the consumer does not have problems with the heart and blood vessels, and also boasts a strong urinary system.

Important! You can most quickly encounter heart problems if you smoke a cigarette with coffee.

Individual types of alcohol and methods of combination are worth considering in detail.

Cognac

A cup or glass of coffee with cognac is the drink of aristocrats.
However, you need to know how to make it a truly “expensive” cocktail. Firstly, only a product made using a certain technology in the province of Cognac can be called cognac. And if the country of manufacture is different, the brandy is in front of the consumer. Coffee beans are also taken seriously if the goal is to make a quality drink. But before you start cooking, you need to consider the benefits and harms of coffee with cognac. To understand how the cocktail will work, you need to consider the action of the components separately. After drinking, a person expects the opposite effects of the two ingredients. Coffee stimulates, invigorates, increases blood pressure, while alcoholic beverages will lower it. To protect the body from such influence, you need to maintain the correct proportions of coffee and cognac.

Possible harm:

Bad dream.
Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Loss of calcium and other beneficial elements.
Functional disorders of the liver, kidneys, and intestines.
Increased excitability.

Benefit:

Hypotensive patients will have increased blood pressure.
Improve your ability to remember and respond to actions.
Improved mood.
Analgesic effect.

Brandy

Brandy is a strong drink with a long history. It is often equated to cognac, confusing the name. However, there are some differences. Based on similar properties, we can conclude that the compatibility of brandy and cognac with coffee drinks is similar.

What is the difference between brandy and cognac:

Cognac can be made from three varieties of grapes; a drink made from other raw materials must be called differently.
Brandy is also prepared from apple and other fruit juice.
Brandy is made in a variety of countries.
The strength of cognac is slightly higher - 40 degrees.
Brandy matures not only in oak barrels. Cognac is prepared only using this technology.
Chemical additives cannot be added to cognac for taste. In brandy - yes.
The aging period for brandy is much shorter – 6 months.

Based on the fact that these are related drinks, the strength of which differs by only 4 degrees, we can conclude that drinking brandy with coffee threatens the same thing. Excitability, problems with sleep appear, and as a result of frequent use, problems with the heart, kidneys and liver may appear.

Important! It is not recommended to use this combination of drinks for hypertension and problems with the heart and blood vessels.

Liquor

It is believed that liqueur goes most harmoniously with coffee.
Also, grains can become the basis of such a drink. There are quite a few recipes for making this alcohol. It turns out to be a kind of dessert. The harmony of the combination depends on how the liqueur is prepared. Liqueur is a sweet alcoholic drink. The basis can be fruits, berries, herbs, spices and, in fact, the coffee beans themselves. The strength can be low - 16 revolutions, or as high as 50. To prepare, the main component is infused with an alcohol base, the liquid is filtered, a syrup is created and mixed with the alcohol base, sweetened. What kind of liqueur is added to coffee depends on the country.

Advice! The most popular option for compatibility is Baileys liqueur.

Adding caffeine to sweet alcohol leads to vigor, but sometimes it is harmful. It is also worth remembering that the pressure will certainly rise. And a high sugar content will lead to problems with excess weight. However, with moderate consumption, harmful effects can be avoided. If you use the combination as a rare dessert, nothing bad will happen.

Balm

Balsam is a separate type of alcoholic drink. It is used less frequently, but sometimes for medicinal purposes. Therefore, the benefits and harms of coffee with balsam are not such a popular topic for discussion. The taste of balms is sharper and bitter. But connoisseurs prefer to drink the drink separately, in small portions, always without snacks. This is how you can reveal the taste. But lovers are increasingly adding a little balm to coffee or tea. And since the amount of alcohol is relatively small, it is difficult to get harm from normal consumption. In addition, most balms have medicinal properties, as they are made from herbs, horns, juices, spices, herbs, essential oils, and vegetable fats.

Whiskey

Whiskey and coffee are not just good compatibility. There are places where these components are separated very rarely. It all started on the plane. This drink was made to warm up frozen passengers. Indeed, the drink is very warming, it can also lift your mood and improve blood circulation. However, you need to monitor your blood pressure. The emergence of the Irish version led to the emergence of a whole culture of drinking whiskey with coffee drinks.

Coffee punch with alcohol

This punch is incredibly tasty, but also tricky. Its strength is quite high, because port wine and rum are added to coffee, so you should not abuse this cocktail. This recipe shows the proportions for a company of 6-8 people, and it is better to pour it into thick glass glasses of the “Old Fashion Glass” shape.

Required Components

Name	Quantity

The benefits and harms of drinking alcohol and coffee

There is not much benefit to be gained from drinking alcohol with coffee. Even if you do it rarely. But if used frequently, harm will be done to the body. Negative consequences mainly appear not from the combination itself, but from drinking the alcoholic beverage itself. In addition, the opposite effect of the ingredients puts a greater strain on the body, especially the nervous system. And if cigar smoke acts, it doubles. The properties can be considered in more detail by separating the methods of connecting two components.

Before alcohol

If you drink the drink before drinking alcohol, you can speed up the breakdown of toxins that appear in the body. However, the negative impact on the liver will increase several times. If you repeat the experiment many times, you can “earn” big problems with the functioning of the filter.

Adding alcohol to coffee

The simultaneous combination of drinks is most detrimental to the body. This is a huge load on the blood vessels and heart, as well as the kidneys. Only cola in combination with a coffee drink has a more negative effect. In a state of intoxication, a person will not be able to adequately assess his well-being and symptoms. The risk of side effects increases. Feeling worse during a hangover compared to the consequences of “salt” drinking.

After alcohol

Many people wonder whether it is possible to drink coffee after alcohol. So the drink should be consumed only when the alcohol is completely eliminated from the body. Since there is strong excitability, a load on the liver. The risk of stroke or heart attack increases.

The cocktail made from coffee and vodka is called Karsk, but this is a Norwegian name. Karsk, after all, consists of coffee and moonshine, 96 degrees or so. Therefore, very little is added. But coffee with traditional vodka does not have an official, well-known name.
