Anyone who has visited the London Coffee Festival will know
that they like to kick off the festival with a party. This year was no
different, with an espresso martini party and a music line-up headlined by none
other than DJ Yoda. All the ingredients were there for a brilliant event- a
crowd of coffee lovers, great music and iced coffee cocktails. Buzzing!

Cocktails featuring coffee have been growing in popularity
for a while now, with espresso cocktails featuring on the menus of all of the
very swankiest bars. All the fun of a
regular cocktail with a caffeine boost! We had our own little spin off party on
the stand and invited visitors to join us for a free coffee cocktail or
two…..or three…

Coffee with alcohol has moved on considerably since the
invention of the Irish Coffee in the 1940’s and coffee experts and mixologists
alike have become increasingly creative in their creations. We became quite
creative ourselves at the festival and made all kinds of drinks combinations,
which we enjoyed sharing and talking to visitors about.
The great thing about coffee cocktails is that they can be
enjoyed at any time of day, all year round. We thought we’d share some of our
favourite recipes with you so that you can have your own coffee cocktail party
at home!
