It's Sunday Funday.....come see what our Bloggers are sharing........
Renu of Cook with Renu is hosting today and asked us to share any recipe in which coffee is added.  I decided to share a recipe that uses coffee liqueur.  Let's see what the others are sharing.......


Affogato Martini

I am a 2 cup of coffee drinker each morning.  I rarely have coffee after 9 am unless it is in the form of a cocktail such as this Martini or perhaps a Frozen Irish Coffee or a White Russian.

I often use coffee in sweet bakes such as these Coffee and Bailey Mini Bundts, these scrumptious Coffee Cinnamon Rolls or these yummy Coffee and Cashew Biscotti.

Sometimes I use it for savory dishes as well.  I used flavored coffee as a rub on this Fall Flavored Pork Tenderloin, dressed a beet salad with this Creamy Coffee Dressing and it was delicious braised on these Coffee Scented Short Ribs.

This delicious cocktail is the perfect dessert following a date night dinner when you want a little something sweet with your coffee but nothing to filling.
