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)

GregoryHirsch,

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 😅

TheEhHole,

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.

oatmilkmaid,

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 ;)

Hi! No.

sigh Fine, I’ll have one of those . . . coffee . . orange juice ginger things. I mean - what the hell, right?

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.

FrullaPapaya,

I am trying to imagine what coffee + orange juice taste like, but I really can’t

Well the orange juice is certainly the dominant flavor and the coffee adds some nice bitter notes to it. The ginger then brings a nice spicy kick if you like that sort of thing in your food/drinks (I do, obviously)

I’d never have thought of mixing coffee and orange on my own. Same with espresso tonic. But it turns out I like both Or maybe my brain just suffers (more) damage when the room temperature exceeds 27°C 🤷

dingus,

I’m honestly curious enough that I’m tempted to go out and buy some OJ to try…

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

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.
