Mexican Coffee
Mexican Coffee is your new best buddy if you like coffee with a little kick. It’s warm and comforting, and the tequila and Kahlúa give it the ideal alcoholic edge.
With whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, it’s the perfect dessert for cold nights, breakfast, or any time you want to feel sophisticated.
Let’s prepare a cup of this tasty stuff!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of steaming coffee made from scratch
- 1 ounce of tequila (silver or reposado works well)
- 1 ounce of Kahlúa or any other coffee liqueur
- Cream that has been whipped (for topping)
- A little bit of ground cinnamon (for decoration)
- Cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings might be used as a garnish.
Tools:
Cup of coffee
A jigger or tablespoon for measuring
Spoon
Instructions
- Make the coffee
Make a hot cup of coffee first. Make it strong to get the best taste. - Mix with Kahlúa and tequila
Add 1 ounce of tequila and 1 ounce of Kahlúa to your coffee mug. Mix together by gently stirring.
- Add whipped cream on top
For a creamy finish, top the coffee with a lot of whipped cream. - Add the garnish and serve
If you want, you can add a cinnamon stick or chocolate shavings to the whipped cream and sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top. Serve right away and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Pick a nice tequila. A silky silver or reposado tequila is excellent; no strong flavors here!
- Make coffee that is robust. The stronger the coffee, the better it goes with the tequila and Kahlúa.
- Make it happen. For a café-style look (and added yum), top it with a lot of whipped cream.
- Make your garnish your own. A sprinkling of cinnamon is a staple, but chocolate shavings or even a drizzle of caramel are also great.
- Non-alcoholic: Instead of tequila and Kahlúa, use vanilla essence and caramel syrup.
- To make your coffee sweeter, add a teaspoon of brown sugar or a sprinkle of honey.
- Add a little cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy bite!
- You should drink Mexican coffee right away, but if you have some left over, put it in the fridge and heat it up when you’re ready to use it.

Mexican Coffee is the best balance of strong coffee, warmth, and alcohol. Making it is simple, and it tastes like a delicacy from a warm café at home. Give it a try and tell me how it went! Did you decorate it your own way? Cheers to drinking something wonderful! ✨🍹
