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)

    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’ve tried coffee lemonade and found it a pretty suitable emetic. This seems like it could be even worse, cheers.

    Fuck all these haters. I’m going to try this tomorrow and once I recover from the stomach cramps it will inevitably give me I will post the results.

    I’ve never been a fan of flavoured coffees (only some kind of creamer and sugar are added at most), and adding two strongly tasting flavours to coffee seems errr…

    I was wondering if it was something I missed, but I guess the consensus here isn’t in favour of the drink either. xD

    If it was a super chocolatey coffee I could almost see this working given chocolate, orange, and ginger will play well together.

    The idea of this sounds bad initially, but I Love espresso tonics so I can definitely see this working.

    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.
