Brew 2 shots of espresso or 1 strong cup of coffee and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 cup of milk until steaming but not boiling, whisking occasionally to prevent scorching.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce until fully dissolved into the milk.
Froth the milk mixture using a handheld frother, a whisk, or by shaking it in a heat-safe jar with the lid tightly closed.
Pour the prepared espresso or coffee into a mug, followed by the caramel-infused milk.
Stir in 1.5 ounces of your chosen spirit (bourbon, Baileys, or rum) until well combined.
If desired, top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.
Serve hot or pour over ice for an iced version and enjoy responsibly!
