Coffee lovers can tell you that there are a great many things that you can put in your morning brew to transform it from a necessary part of your morning routine into sheer bliss. And, like most of the best things in life, it’s better with booze. You’ve probably heard of “Irishing up your coffee” with a shot of whiskey, but did you know you could add rum instead? You can have rum and coffee drinks in hot, iced coffee or slushie form. Here are some of the best rum and coffee drinks:
There’s a reason for this drink’s odd name. The story goes that a German Pastor named Gustav Beyer was constantly scolding his parishoners about drinking, so they got creative and put rum in their coffee. The whipped cream on top of it kept it from smelling too much like rum. Once he got wise, he called them Pharisees. This recipe is delicious proof that if someone wants to drink, they’ll find a way!

This has a deceiving name, but it’s actually coffee with spiced rum and butterscotch whipped cream. The butterscotch whipped cream really brings the drink together and makes the butterscotch and vanilla flavors in the rum stand out without being overpowering. It really does make everything about this drink nice!

This is an awesome recipe for the holidays, or for cold days. The gingerbread pairs really well with the spices and sweetness in the rum. This coffee drink would be good all on its own, but the rum really takes it to the next level!
