With all of the scary movies on offer at this time of year, you’re going to need a delicious coffee cocktail to enjoy while keeping you semi-alert should a loud noise happen somewhere close by.

Raven Coffee Cocktail
This Raven-inspired coffee cocktail is a fall update on a classic Black Russian cocktail, with vanilla and cinnamon notes. If you’re a fan of pumpkin spice and have Pumpkin Spice Vodka available near you, you can switch that out for the Cinnamon Whiskey.
We went with a Raven theme due to the beautiful coloring of this drink, and that coffee liqueur which is essential when reading or watching a bit of horror. I can definitely see Mr. Poe sipping on one of these, in a dark lounge as the Raven perches and looks on.

Raven: Coffee Cocktail Ingredients
- 2 oz Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
- 1 oz Cinnamon Whiskey or Pumpkin Spice Vodka
- 1 oz Vanilla Vodka
Simply fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour the liqueurs overtop, one at a time. Cover and shake well.
Strain the cocktail into a martini glass. Serve with a clean feather for garnish, if desired.

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It's important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
