I love iced coffee so much that I can’t even order it from a coffee shop unless I wanted to go broke.

I can slam a $4 drink in 14 seconds.

It’s better for my wallet that I make my own iced coffee at home.

Plus, at home I can add booze.

I’ve never understood the mystique behind iced coffee and why people are so impressed, yet intimated by it.

Like Chocolate Chip Cookies, there are so many different recipes and ways to make it. Yet in the end, they all taste fairly similar. The difference is that some of them seem ridiculously complicated and labor-intensive.

My method is extremely fast and easy. Brew a pot coffee. Drink whatever hot coffee you want. Take the leftover and pour it into a jar or pitcher and refrigerate it. You can also pour some into ice cube trays for coffee ice cubes.

I always keep a stash of chilled coffee in my fridge and when I’m ready for an iced coffee, I simply pour it over ice and stir in cream and sweetener.

I also added Frangelico. It’s a liqueur made with toasted hazelnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa and vanilla extract. The flavor profile is right up my alley. You’d be hard pressed to find a dessert recipe of mine that doesn’t use at least one, or three or four, or those elements.

It’s so well-suited for adding a splash of it to coffee. You can add it to warm coffee of course, but at this time of year, iced coffee is especially tasty. Then again, I drink steaming hot coffee in July and iced coffee in January. Coffee knows no seasons.

There’s a recipe for Iced Coffee on Frangelico’s site, but it’s made with espresso, but not everyone has an espresso maker.

Instead I used Dark Sumatra coffee, courtesy of the Trader.

The drink is creamy, sweet enough, and the flavor of the hazelnuts in the Frangelico shines.

There are hints of cocoa in Frangelico, and I played that up and added dark chocolate shavings to the drink. Feel free to add a squirt of chocolate syrup. Take any excuse to work in more chocolate into your life.

I don’t normally add whipped cream to coffee but this was a special occasion so I went for it. The creamier the better. I’m that person who likes a little coffee with my cream.

It’s smooth, tastes luxurious and fancy, but it’s so fast and easy. It’s truly the 1 minute iced coffee.

It goes down so fast and easy, too. It’s almost Friday of a holiday weekend. Cheers!

    Love this drink! I’m a big fan of coffee, and I love trying new variations on it. This creamy boozy iced coffee is definitely a new favorite. The coffee itself is rich and flavorful, and the addition of cream and booze takes it to a whole new level (if you know what I mean 😅) Delicious!

    1. You can whip full fat coconut milk. Just skim off the top layer after it’s separated and chilled in the fridge and whip it!

  3. You can get espresso for regular machines. If this works out, I may not need Starbucks anymore…..

  4. I like your ideas for iced coffee. We make a double strength coffee and had whatever flavored creamer is in the house and some 2 % milk and some sweetener. I keep a quart in the fridge for me. My daughter is like you with chocolate. The more the merrier.

    Those other ideas following the recipe are going to be saved for later. They look good too.

    Thank you

  5. Yeah. This looks pretty incredible! Going to be perfect for these hot summer days coming up!

  6. I can’t fathom the idea of not sipping coffee even for a day. Sigh. Yours look so so dreamy :)

  7. The glass on first picture was popular in Asia at the moment. It often uses for ice plum tea or ice cream coffee in cafe at summer season. Nice details.

  8. Oh man! This looks and sounds amazing! I loooove iced coffee (and hot coffee)…and booze for that matter ;-)

  9. This drink looks amazing! I’ve never met an iced coffee I didn’t like, and I too LOVE adding the booze to it. I’ve never tried Frangelico, but now I must. I love all things hazelnut. Except the actual nut itself, lol!

  10. Have just started to make my own iced coffees to cool down from the heat and I can totally relate on the slamming it in 14 seconds. They are just so refreshing and sweet, it’s difficult not to chug it all in one go! Also, I LOVE frangelico – what a great idea to add a splash.
