Even though, summer is over, children are going back to school and you are starting your daily routines again, coffee is always there. Yes, those millenarian ground roasted beams provide the best moment ever with the pleasant mix of their scents and beverage. These Coffee Shakes Recipes will enhance your caffeine experience.

Cappuccino Shake

This drink is a blended-coffee treat you can buy anywhere, but this time you are preparing it in the comfort of your house. In fact, you can make it non-dairy using soy milk. You will need 1 teaspoon instant granulated coffee, ¾ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste, 6 ice cubes, and 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup (or caramel syrup, whichever your option).

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Mocha Liqueur Shake

This cold shot will not give you and your boss a hard time at work or embarrassing moments in the house, if you don’t work. You can try this, however, as an after-dinner drink or for a cool refreshing afternoon cocktail. The ingredients are ¾ cup light rum, ¼ cup cold coffee, 1 pint vanilla ice cream, 4 cubes ice, whip cream and sprinkles of dark chocolate for toppings.

In a blender, combine rum, cold coffee and ice cream. Insert ice cubes until volume reaches at least five cups. Blend until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses, decorate with the toppings, and serve.

Colt de Mont

In Christmas, this drink is popular in several countries from South America, mainly in Chile, Argentina and Colombia. The potion brings us memories of our traditional "Egg Nog", except that coffee is the principal taste.

For ingredients, you have to consider 1 can condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 cinnamon sticks, 3 teaspoons instant coffee, and 1 cup dry tequila.

Mix condensed milk, 2 ½ cups water, vanilla extract and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan. Put to boil for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once bubbles appear on top of the preparation, immediately set aside, drain, and add coffee dissolved in water. Place over medium heat for some extra minutes. Finally, leave to cool before mixing with tequila. Pour into sterilized bottles or large jars and seal straight away. Serve on special moments with friends, relatives and loved ones.
