Bring on the Holiday Spirit(s)

There's nothing that feels quite like home during the holidays. Time to sit back, unwind, and enjoy your new favourite holiday spirit, with a twist of course — coffee! We figured there's no time like the present to sit around the fire and enjoying the presents or presence of loved ones and family.

We’ve got you covered with our DIY go-to holiday drink recipes and paired with either your favourite espresso or instant coffee, so you don't have to sacrifice that coffee fix to keep you going during the hustle bustle of the season! 

First things first, let's make a Coffee liqueur!

• 60 grams hot water
• Bouncy Castle Instant Coffee Sachets x3
• Shake to combine
• 150 grams of brown sugar

This coffee liqueur is enough for 8 White Russian beverages or 16 Espresso Martinis in the recipes below!

It's time to move into the holiday cocktails!
