Champagne Cocktails

What’s better than champagne for a holiday celebration?!

Southern Coffee Punch

Coffee at brunch is a must, but a way to make it extra special is to go with a flavor that will amaze, like red velvet cake coffee. Or better yet, get really fancy and…

Add ice cream!

I love this version of the classic Coffee Punch recipe because it uses strong fresh brewed coffee instead of instant coffee. Try a flavorful twist on coffee punch with Fire Department Coffee’s delicious salted caramel bourbon-infused coffee, and add vanilla and caramel ice cream. And get yourself a cup before it quickly disappears!

Dust them with powdered sugar, add a little maple syrup, and your favorite berries.
