If you want to start your morning off with a twist, these [homemade alcoholic iced coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-vietnamese-coffee) offer a surprising twist on your favorite breakfast beverage. Infused with gooey salted caramel, [whipped cream and rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-whipshots), this is a great drink to make on weekends.

When the weather is warmer, often foodies gravitate to chilled versions of their favorite drinks including iced coffee. This homemade version by lifestyle blogger She Knows offers foodies the chance to make their favorite cold drink at home with an adult apporach. Begin with brewing a cup of coffee and letting it chill in the fridge. Once cooled, add two shots of dark rum and [caramel syrup for flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biggby-coffee-twix-drinks) and top with a heaping swirl of whipped cream and more caramel. This libation spin showcases how adult consumers are infusing their mundane routine foods with fun, new flavors.
