Immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of premium coffee and sparkling soda, with Coffee Soda, where rich, velvety flavors meet effervescent delight. Sip, savor, and refresh your senses with this captivating caffeinated elixir.
If you enjoy Cold Brew or Iced Coffee then this fizzy two-ingredient twist on coffee will be a new unique way to savor your caffeine.
What is Coffee Soda?
Coffee soda is a beverage that combines coffee and soda, offering a unique and refreshing twist on traditional coffee. It typically features the rich and bold flavors of coffee infused with carbonation, resulting in a fizzy, caffeinated drink that’s both refreshing and caffeinating, often served chilled over ice.
Ingredients Needed
- Soda Water – The soda water adds a fizzy and effervescent quality to the beverage, creating a sparkling and refreshing contrast to the richness of the coffee.
- Sweetener – To sweeten your drink, you can add Simple Syrup or Maple Syrup. Any version of a liquid sweetener will work.
- Cold Brew Coffee or Espresso – You can use either espresso or cold brew coffee.
How to Make Coffee Soda
This delightful concoction blends espresso or cold brew coffee with the effervescence of club soda. This ingenious fusion mimics the fizzy appeal of carbonated coffee without the need for carbonation itself. The taste profile is reminiscent of nitro coffee, where cold brew coffee is infused with nitrogen bubbles, delivering a creamy and velvety texture. It will revitalize your cold brew experience, infusing it with a refreshing twist that rejuvenates your coffee indulgence.
- Fill the glass with ice. Start by adding ice to your glass. I recommend using Coffee Ice Cubes so the drink doesn’t get watered down as the ice begins to melt. You can use this ice cube mold for making them.
- Add the coffee. Pour the coffee into your glass and fill it halfway. You want to have equal parts coffee and soda water.
- Mix in your sweetener. Add the Simple Syrup to the cold brew or espresso and gently stir it to mix. You can also add some flavored syrups such as Hazelnut Syrup or Vanilla Syrup for Coffee.
- Add the soda water. Fill the remainder of your glass with soda water. For some added flair you can top it off with some Cold Foam.
