Occasionally, I get the opportunity to combine a few of my favorite things; travel and work, family and friends, caffeine and booze. The line between barista and bartender is blurred more than ever, as the growing passion for creating delicious beverage has either reaching for borrowed ingredients and shared techniques. Coffee-infused cocktails (or spirit-infused coffees, if you prefer) that are both tasty and caffeinated are creating a new buzz in cafés and bars around the globe, and it goes far beyond the classic Espresso Martini. Try one of my recipes below or check out our complete library of coffee cocktail recipes here. Enjoy! - Brian
