Red eye coffee, also known as a "shot in the dark," is a coffee beverage made by adding a shot of espresso to a cup of drip coffee. The combination of the two types of coffee creates a strong and bold flavor that is popular among those who prefer a more intense coffee experience. Red eye coffee is often ordered by those who need an extra boost of caffeine to start their day or to power through a long afternoon. It is typically served black, but it can also be customized with milk or sweeteners to taste.
