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)

      Apparently it is called an iced bumblebee coffee, never tried it myself but it seems like it is very much a thing

        Oh, thank you. I’ll have to remember that name. Might help sell the idea when I next try to get someone to taste-test it 😅
