Happy National Coffee Day!
If you follow my blog, you know how much I love coffee. I think my heart is still in Anchorage, Alaska, where there is a coffee shop on almost every single corner. You can head here to read my Alaska Coffee post.
To celebrate this fun day and my love of coffee, I’m sharing 4 of my favorite coffee recipes.
Baileys & Kahlua Iced Coffee
Ingredients
- 1 oz Baileys Irish Creme
- 1 oz Kahlua
- 4 to 5 oz strong coffee
Directions
Fill glass with ice. Fill 3/4 of the glass with coffee. Next, add Baileys and Kahlua, stir. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Mmm, mmm, good! *See tip at bottom of page for iced coffees.
Note – I have no affiliation with the makers of Baileys and Kahlúa, I’m just a fan!

Alaskan “Sludge Cup” Recipe (my favorite)
Ingredients

Add 1-2 shots of espresso to your cup of coffee. Add cream and sugar if you like. This is my favorite way to have coffee! So. Darn. Good.
Great tip for iced coffees
Fill your ice cube trays with leftover coffee to make coffee ice cubes. They are great for making iced coffee drinks!
Enjoy National Coffee Day…I sure will!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!

Those sound delicious! I miss Anchorage, Alaska, too. Loved the coffee huts on every corner. When the Army moved us to Georgia, no one had a clue what I was talking about when I asked about coffee huts!
