Hello, my favorite people! Austin Carter welcomes you all to Beyond the Bayou Blog to make you sip the flavors of Mexican Coffee from my kitchen.
I remember having this coffee last time sitting at a Mexican restaurant with my cousin with the delicious Beef Taco and Baja Fish Tacos at my side. We both decided to spend our weekend in a different way. This Mexican Coffee after a long tiring adventurous day out invites me for more such amazing weekends.
I am not the only one who loved this recipe. Even my cousin wants me to recreate this recipe and share its love and charm with you all guys. So are you guys ready to adorn your breakfasts or evening snacks with the magic of this special Mexican coffee? Let’s begin!

These Variations Are a Must Try!
- Adding Flavors: To elevate this drink, include tequila and coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua, for a delightful cocktail or post-dinner treat.
- Unique Flavor Twist: For a distinct and delicious taste, consider adding a hint of chili powder or our homemade coffee syrups.
- Iced Coffee Variation: Transform this into an iced coffee by straining it into a mason jar, refrigerating until cool (bits of cinnamon and chocolate may not chill well), and serving over ice.
- Orange Infusion: For an authentic touch, add orange peel or zest to the spices for a hint of citrusy goodness.
- Spiced Mocha Frappe: Blend the brewed coffee with ice cubes, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a dash of nutmeg for a refreshing frappe version of this drink.

- Coconut Mocha Delight: Add a splash of coconut milk to the milk mixture and garnish with toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist on your mocha.
- Spicy Mocha Kick: Infuse some heat by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the milk mixture for a spicy kick.
