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

Directions

Note – I have no affiliation with the makers of Baileys and Kahlúa, I’m just a fan!

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!
