As human beings we love two things: coffee and cocktails! On average, we consume about two to three cups of coffee a day and after that we even order coffee with a little something extra after we’ve had dinner in a restaurant. But why would you only enjoy a special coffee (cocktail) when you’re out? There are a lot of great coffee cocktails that are easy to make at home and we would like to tell you about our four favourites!
