As much as I adore getting coffee at a local coffee shop, there’s something so satisfying about brewing my own at home. One of the best things about making my own coffee is saving a little extra to make my decadent Adult Iced Coffee later in the afternoon. With just the right amount of flavored vodka, it’s the perfect indulgent treat for a relaxing weekend. Or, you know, a Wednesday.

How to Make Spiked Iced Coffee

This adult iced coffee comes together in a snap. For the full recipe including all the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  • Start with cold coffee. Add it to a tall glass with lots of ice.
  • Add the vodka.
  • Top with cream. Mix together then add the sweetened coffee creamer. Cheers!

How to Make Iced Coffee

Making your own iced coffee is super simple! I use a Ninja that has a special setting for strongly brewed coffee over ice. But you can just brew your coffee as normal and let it cool completely. Or check your grocery store for some great tasting cold brewed options.

Iced Coffee Cocktail Ingredients

This tempting treat comes together in just FOUR ingredients! Here we go:

  • Iced coffee: For one serving, use about 3/4 cup. See your options for what coffee to use below.
  • Flavored vodka: I used an amaretto for this recipe, but cake flavored or caramel flavored vodka would be scrumptious as well.
  • Sweetened coffee creamer: If it’s not sweet enough you could add a bit of my Simple Syrup until it’s to your liking. But steer clear of using regular granulated sugar, as it won’t dissolve very well in cold coffee.
