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)
What in god’s name is this
These violent delights have violent ends.
Op loves the taste of garbage.
OP might be a raccoon
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 😅
Thanks, I hate it ❤️
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.
I’m not gonna yuck your yum, and post and comments were entertaining, so you get my upvote!
Well that’s… that’s something, alright
This is like acid reflux in a cup lol
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.
Absolutely cursed. Gonna try.
My favorite way to end brushing my teeth.
If it was a super chocolatey coffee I could almost see this working given chocolate, orange, and ginger will play well together.
Hi! No.
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 ;)
If you want to make this even more monstrous you can try brewing into a cocktail shaker over ice and shaking the crap out of it so you’ll get a good couple of inches of froth on top when you add it to the orange juice.
For really good foam add an egg white to your cocktail shaker, before the ice. Definitely cool the coffee down first.
Nah, keep it hot. Egg drop coffee.
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.
