With the trend of cold coffee beverages like iced coffee, coffee smoothies, Iced caps, frappuccinos, comes another cold coffee drink.

This one is for adults only! A nice change for coffee lovers.

Coffee Cream Martinis!

Coming in a 4 and half ounces per drink this one has some definite kick!!!

I have to send a shout out to Sue in New York, “Thanks Sue.”  She is a fellow Field Editor at Taste of Home Magazine.

She was the first one to test drive this cocktail and gave it great reviews!
