Coffee in cocktails too often means dessert. This is the opposite — a long, bittersweet highball that drinks more like a soda than a treat. Part of our Summer Highballs trio, served chilled and pulled together in under five minutes.
Ingredients
- 40 ml Dispense Modern British Amaro
- 30 ml cold-brew coffee concentrate
- 120 ml chilled soda water
- Orange twist (garnish)
Method
Step 1: Build
Fill a tall highball glass with ice. Add the Dispense and cold-brew coffee concentrate.
Step 2: Top
Top with cold soda water and stir once from the bottom up to combine the layers without flattening the fizz.
Step 3: Garnish and serve
Express an orange twist over the surface, then drop it in. Drink while the bubbles are still working.
Tasting Notes
Roasted, bittersweet and effervescent — like an Italian cafe terrace in the afternoon. The amaro's botanicals lift the coffee's depth, and the soda keeps the whole thing long and easy.
