The best cold coffee drinks of the summer!!!
In summer, when you especially want something cold, refreshing and invigorating, cocktails based on coffee and ice are the perfect solution. You can start your day with a cold coffee drink, drink it during lunch or business meetings.
Cocktails can be easily prepared using a shaker, a mixer, or a regular fork or spoon. Some cocktails are not stirred at all, all ingredients are mixed during the drinking process. The amount of ice varies depending on the height of the glass, but on average it should take up a third of the glass.
In coffee cocktails, the external presentation is very important, so we recommend serving them in tall, beautiful glasses, garnished with fresh fruit and special edible and inedible decorative elements.
Some people prefer cocktails based on two cups of coffee, while others prefer cocktails based on one cup with a more pronounced fruity taste. There are a huge number of suitable additives for cocktails – fruits, berries, chocolate, ice cream, syrups, toppings, milk, whipped cream, nuts.
If you want to get a very sweet drink, it is better to add powdered sugar or fructose. Regular sugar has a coarser consistency and may not completely dissolve in a warm drink.
If you use freshly brewed coffee for the cocktail, you need to strain it so that the grounds don't get into the cocktail. We recommend straining the coffee twice, so that it will definitely be cleared of unnecessary thickness.
