Coffee and liquor have always been a great combination. Liquors that go exceptionally well with coffee include Frangelico, Kahlua, Amaretto, Grand Marnier, Irish Cream and Butterscotch Schnapps. Some companies, such as Starbucks, realized just how popular liquor and coffee really is, and have cut out the middleman by creating coffee-flavored liqueurs.

We have one more recommendation for all you coffee-flavored liquor fans: it works beautifully over ice cream.
