Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cold brew coffee concentrate
  • 4 ounces premium tonic water
  • 1 ounce fresh orange juice
  • 1 orange wheel for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Fill a tall glass with one cup of ice cubes to keep the beverage chilled.
  2. Pour the four ounces of tonic water into the glass.
  3. Slowly add the fresh orange juice over the ice.
  4. Use a bar spoon to carefully pour the cold brew coffee over the mixture to maintain a layered effect.
  5. Garnish the serving with a fresh orange wheel and serve immediately.

Notes

Always use high-quality, premium tonic water to ensure the quinine balance complements the coffee. For a sweeter variation, use a Cara Cara or Mandarin orange wheel. Using a bar spoon or pouring over the back of a spoon is essential for achieving the beautiful two-tone layered presentation.
