Mexican Coffee
If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be sitting here adding tequila to my coffee, I would’ve said… HECK YEAH! 😀
Tequila reminds me of Puerto Vallarta, circa 2001. All I remember is my friends, Coronas, tequila, of course, and “Hit ‘Em Up Style” by Blu Cantrell.
I wish I had known about Mexican Coffee back then – I would’ve ordered it every single day.
And I also remember that our mornings included awesome leftover guacamole… it was brown, but damn good! Anything to cure a hangover, you know?
How To Make Boozy Mexican Coffee
On topic. I learned about this delicious coffee-drink at a nearby, family-owned authentic Mexican Restaurant. I was told that Mexican Coffee recipes are many and varied, but with tequila, kahlua, and cream, it is as authentic as it gets.
I took their advice and got drunk as soon as I got home. By the time I got the ratios down pat, I was slurring my words and started bumpin’ to Nelly Furtado’s, I’m Like a Bird. I quickly learned that a full shot-glass of tequila in hot brewed coffee was not the answer to this recipe. Ew!
- So, what I’m trying to say is grab your favorite ground coffee and brew it with a couple of teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 5 cups of water.
- In the meantime, heat up the milk, heavy cream, and chocolate syrup in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it starts to simmer, remove it from the heat and whisk in the kahula, tequila, vanilla, and the brewed coffee.
- Divide up the coffee between four cups, top with whipped cream, and serve it immediately.
- Cheers! 🥂
Go get a glass or a mug, and join me. We can celebrate Cinco de Mayo right now, if you like.
Also? That cream on top? OH yeah… super amazing.
ENJOY!

There’s no recipe for Mexican coffee???
Sorry about that! It’s there now. 🙂
There’s no recipe here
If only I could start every day with a cup of joe like this!
I want to meet up for coffee with YOU! Adding tequila to my grocery list. 🙂
Girl I need this coffee in my life, love!
Sounds like an extra fun way to get your caffeine fix!
My hubby would go whackadoodle for this. Looks amazing.
I just wonder is it anything alike “Spanish Coffee”?!
However gotta try this!
Hi Rose!! I think they are similar. From what I know, Spanish Coffee is coffee mixed with rum or whiskey. But both are boozy and delish! 🙂
Uhmmm I need this coffee every morning!!
Woah! This is one fantastic coffee! Love it!
What an awesome combination of flavors in this Mexican coffee, especially with a little tequila. And ice cream? Yes I have to say, this will be made here soon. This weekend. Thanks!
