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.
