Description
This Easy Coffee Soda is a refreshing and unique beverage that combines the rich flavor of cold brew coffee with the effervescent burst of orange-flavored seltzer water and a hint of sweetness from coconut syrup. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a delightful summer drink, it can be customized with creamy heavy cream or coconut milk for added smoothness.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut syrup
- ½ cup cold brew coffee
- ¾ cup orange seltzer water (e.g., Orange Vanilla Polar Seltzer)
Add-ons
- Ice (as needed)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Add Coconut Syrup: Pour 2 tablespoons of coconut syrup over the ice, which will provide sweetness and a tropical flavor base for the coffee soda.
- Pour Cold Brew Coffee: Stir in half a cup of cold brew coffee gently to blend with the coconut syrup without dissipating the carbonation later.
- Top with Seltzer: Carefully add three-quarters of a cup of orange-flavored seltzer water to give the drink its fizzy, citrusy sparkle.
- Add Cream (Optional): If desired, add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or coconut milk to introduce a creamy texture and balance the acidity of the coffee and orange flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Give the drink a gentle stir to combine all ingredients and enjoy immediately while cold and fizzy.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of coconut syrup based on your taste preference.
- Use high-quality cold brew coffee for the best flavor experience.
- Optional cream or coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture but can be omitted for a lighter drink.
- Orange-flavored seltzer water adds a nice citrusy note; however, plain seltzer or other flavored sparkling waters can be substituted.
