The Cafe Au Lait Martini

CAFE AU LAIT MARTINI RECIPE

The Cafe Au Lait Martini is a creamy martini with a little kick of caffeine for some extra punch. It's one of my favorite coffee drinks, second only to my old favorite of an Irish Coffee.

FROZEN CAFÉ AU LAIT COCKTAIL
You can turn this into a spirited frozen coffee confection by using ice cream in place of the heavy cream and using a blender instead of a cocktail shaker. It's a wonderful late day treat on those dog days of summer when the mercury is rising and your energy is melting. I've even been known to freeze any leftover coffee from the morning and toss in a few of those as well.

National Café au Lait Day is February 17th.
