This option should really surprise no one...they call it 'Irish Coffee'. Or in Sweden, it's called a "kaffekask" which involves adding strong distilled liquor like vodka. (Which sounds pretty gross to me...)

The idea of adding an egg to your coffee comes from Scandinavia. Apparently, the idea is that it clarifies the coffee, leaving a perfectly colored drink with no sediment. (Here's a how-to video on how to make a Norwegian Egg Coffee...you're welcome...)

I kind of like this idea. (Although I've never personally tried it...) Experts say to put some cinnamon in your coffee rather than cream and sugar. It can help boost your immune system and save you some calories.

I don't think this idea needs any explanation because, well, it's ice cream...However, we can thank Germany for this idea. It's called an 'Eiskaffee' and you can click here for the recipe. You're welcome!
