One of my summer favorites: Iced coffee + orange juice + ginger

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)

Op loves the taste of garbage.

OP might be a raccoon

GregoryHirsch,

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

andkit,

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 😅

These violent delights have violent ends.

This is like acid reflux in a cup lol

lockedcasket,

Thanks, I hate it ❤️

pipler,

Coffee + orange juice is a thing according to MorganDrinksCoffee, and coffee + ginger is a thing in my local cuisine. I…might try making some variation of this. For science.

profz,

I’ve had it at my local cafe, absolutely recommend it super refreshing.

bestnerd,

No way this doesn’t give you an ulcer from all the acid

phiskas,

Absolutely cursed. Gonna try.

RBWells,

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.

DrKevorkian,

Cup full of ice to the top + 1/2 cup OJ + double shot of espresso has been my go-to for more than a year. This is good stuff.

lildictator,

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.

Brainsnap,

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

Dravin,

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

HidingCat,

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

CFinley97,

I think you may have just created one of the first memes of this community.

I'm going to make this tomorrow and toast it to you

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.

SangriaFerret,

Nah, keep it hot. Egg drop coffee.
