Brandy is a good way. My great grandmother drank brandy-laced tea (coffee too, but less often) almost daily and lived to be 94.

I like brandy in coffee, and on a similar note whiskey in tea is wonderful.

I have some Masshole-mick-guido-type friends who like Sambuca in their coffee. It makes me wretch.

There is no beverage more foul than Sambuca. I hate, hate, hate, hate that stuff.

It is really awful.

But grappa is worse.

No way. Grappa is great. Maggie Smith's character in My House in Umbria was constantly plastered off of grappa.

Maybe I have only had bad grappa. That is probably likely. But all the stuff I have had tasted like paint thinner smells.

When I drank, I was known to add Kahlua or Amaretto to my coffee.

I had "fresh" grappa when I was in Italy and that was the best I've come across.

I had "fresh" grappa at this restraunt across the street from the Vatican and it was some of the nastiest liquor I have ever tasted. Raki, on the other hand, isn't bad. I don't think either would be good for coffee.
