3 Perfect Coffee Cocktails for the Holiday Season!

As the holiday season is quickly approaching, with all the planning that it entails, we thought that you would undoubtedly like to discover some festive easy-to-make cocktail recipes! Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have our friend, creator, and unparalleled mixologist, Maximiliano Vallée Valletta, at our latest Café Show! He took the opportunity to show us his latest liquor creation: The Chocolate Milk Cremaglace. Maximiliano was absolutely right; the best cocktails are the simplest ones with the fewest ingredients. And with that in mind, here are three simple, caffeinated, and decadent cocktails that showcase this excellent, lightly chocolatey liquor, and of course our famous coffee! Cheers!
