I am a big fan of using the things we have easily available to make interesting beverages and cocktails. Coffeemate is one of those things that you can easily find and tweak a recipe to make it a special beverage. If you want something with a little kick, you can add in some spirits like Van Gogh Vodkas in various flavors like Espresso, Dutch Chocolate, Dutch Caramel, and many other flavors.

Want a little more “juice” to that recipe?
Add in a single shot of Van Gogh Double Espresso Vodka
