Mix coffee with chocolate and you have mocha. Mix strong brewed coffee, coffee liqueur and chocolate liqueur and you get espresso martini. It will definitely warm you up.

Affogato with Kahlua

Affogato with Kahlua

Standard Italian affogato consists of a scoop of vanilla gelato drowned in a shot of espresso. That’s too small a serving for something so good so we double the ice cream and coffee, and add a shot of Kahlua.
