Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 large Mint Leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar or Simple Syrup
- 1½ cup Cold Brew Coffee
- Cream optional
Instructions
- Crush the mint leaves. Begin by crushing the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon until they are bruised and release their aroma.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Add the lime zest, simple sugar, and cold brew coffee, and top it off with ice and a splash of cream if using.
- Shake and strain. Vigorously shake the mixture and strain it over a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with a mint leaf and add more cream if necessary.
Notes
- Want a sweeter drink? If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can adjust the amount of simple syrup or sugar to taste or try a different syrup such as Brown Sugar Syrup or Demerara Syrup.
- Don't over-muddle the mint. Finally, be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves, as this can release bitter flavors. A gentle muddle is all you need to release the mint's aromatic oils. Over-muddling can also result in tiny pieces mixed into the drink.
- Turn it into a cocktail! You can turn this into an afternoon pick-me-up and cocktail by adding 1 1/2 ounces of dark rum.
- The nutritional information above does not include the cream.
