Our Coffee Pirates team loves it: Cold Brew Tonic

Cold brew coffee and tonic water? Why not?! The bitter refreshing lemonade goes extremely well with cold brewed coffee. With the addition of sugar, the combination of quinine-containing bitter lemonade and cold brew extract becomes an extraordinarily tasty long drink.

You don't have to use conventional sugar to enrich the taste - a syrup made from exotic fruits such as dates gives the Cold Brew Tonic an oriental note. Ice cubes are also a must in the Cold Brew Tonic.

Also nice: Lemon zest is a great visual finishing touch.

• 100 ml Cold Brew
• 200 ml tonic water
• Ice cubes
• Sugar or syrup to taste
• Lemon zest

Cold Brew Summer Breeze

The Cold Brew Summer Breeze is a refinement of the Cold Brew Tonic. The Summer Breeze is a touch more summery. Part of the tonic water is replaced with orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed. The summer drink is garnished with an orange slice. Cane sugar provides sufficient sweetness. In order not to distort the fruity taste of the cold brew and the orange juice, I would recommend white cane sugar.

• 100 ml Cold Brew
• 100 ml tonic water
• 50 ml orange juice, freshly squeezed
• Ice cubes
• 1 tbsp cane sugar, white
• Orange slice
• 1 few mint leaves

Put the cold brew, orange juice and cane sugar in a shaker and shake vigorously. Alternatively, you can use a glass with a lid. Pour the mixture into a glass, top up with tonic water and add ice cubes. Serve with an orange slice and mint.

Cold Brew Lemon

The combination of cold brew coffee and lemon is simply easy and extremely cool. For this simple and tangy cold brew recipe, all you need is cold brewed coffee, freshly squeezed lemon juice and plenty of ice cubes.

• 300 ml cold brew
• 20 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• Ice cubes
• possibly lemon zest

It really couldn't be simpler. The aromas of various citrus fruits go perfectly with the aromas of cold coffee, which come out particularly well in the cold brew process. Zest from organic lemons enhances the appearance and taste of the Cold Brew Lemon.

Cold Brew Ginger

The Cold Brew Ginger is fruity and fresh with a hint of spiciness. The combination of cold coffee, ginger and apple juice can be enjoyed as a non-alcoholic cocktail or enhanced with cocktail bitters. Angostura Bitters with its herbal notes goes wonderfully with this. Incidentally, this cocktail ingredient was originally invented as a medicine. Well then: enjoy!

• 120 ml Cold Brew
• 150 ml apple juice, cloudy
• 2 slices of fresh ginger, 1-2 cm thick
• Ice cubes
• Possibly 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

Crush the ginger a little in the shaker, add the apple juice and cold brew and mix well. If you like, don't forget to add the Angostura bitters when shaking. Pour through a fine sieve into a tumbler glass with ice cubes and enjoy.

Cold Brew Vanilla Ice

Cold brew also goes really well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fans of affogato will love the cold coffee with ice-cold filling. The classic is simply pouring a hot espresso over the vanilla scoop.

• 150 ml cold brew
• 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream

With Cold Brew Vanilla Ice, the ice cream with the queen of spices, vanilla, is infused with cold brew coffee instead. This delicious treat is ready to drink.
