The coffee sunrise post earlier reminded me of one of my summer favorites (I just suck at taking pretty pictures but I think you’ll get the idea):
- a strong coffee (this one is 125ml from an aeropress but a double shot of espresso/lungo also works very well)
- about 3-4 medium sized ice cubes (enough to still have ice after pouring the hot coffee)
- ~120ml orange juice (adjust to taste and/or the size of your cup)
- 10-20ml of nice spicy ginger juice (if the bottle says “don’t drink pure”, you got the right stuff)
- pour the coffee slowly onto the ice cubes
- Wait a bit so it gets nicely chilled.
I like slowly sipping about half of the top layer (it’s basically an iced coffee at that point) before stirring and enjoying the final mix
Dunno if there is a name for that recipe, I just combined two stolen ingredient ideas (I saw a youtube video about espresso+orange juice once and a local café had an extremely tasty cold-drip based drink that included ginger)
Now I would reject this straight away, except that I like cold brew, fresh orange juice, and Topo Chico. It just tastes like fizzy smoky orange and is lovely.
The ginger I can’t quite imagine but coffee and orange are more compatible than I could have imagined without trying it.
Thanks, I hate it ❤️
No way this doesn’t give you an ulcer from all the acid
This is like acid reflux in a cup lol
My favorite way to end brushing my teeth.
What in god’s name is this
Apparently it is called an iced bumblebee coffee, never tried it myself but it seems like it is very much a thing
Op loves the taste of garbage.
OP might be a raccoon
The idea of this sounds bad initially, but I Love espresso tonics so I can definitely see this working.
I have very little experience in drinking coffee outside of basic coffee, so I’m not sure if this is a joke or not.
I swear it’s not a joke - I do actually drink this. And the two friends I got to try it at least haven’t sued me for poisoning them, so it can’t be that bad
I’m glad I inspired you, and you have inspired me to (attempt at least) make your creation.
Thank you.
I’m going to threaten my local coffee shop with this wish me luck
lol, good luck, I can already see them grabbing their pitchforks. And if they do let you live, ask them if they have any crazy recipes of their own and share with us ;)
