1 of 2

There’s a firm dividing line in the Camille Styles office between coffee drinkers, and non-coffee drinkers. We caffeine addicts huddle around the Nespresso first thing in the morning and again after lunch, and dodge one another as we dart to grab mugs, spoons, milk and sugar… all for that first, hot sip. As an ode to coffee (and one last nod to cold weather), we thought up this spiked version of a latte — espresso, milk, Bailey’s Irish Cream and a hint of orange. It’s so delicious, I had to fight off the urge to chug the whole thing while photographing it yesterday morning, so I advise bookmarking this one for Friday afternoon! Keep reading for the recipe…
