Four original mocktails based on Cold Brew Coffee

Combining Cold Brew with simple and easy ingredients, we can create delicious cocktails without alcohol, giving another note to our tables.

Spring and summer, at least in Greece, are combined with enjoying your coffee outdoors. Good weather favors friendly gatherings  around a table, either in a cafe or on a balcony, terrace or courtyard. Something that can not be missed by the afternoon, lunch (or why not, even evening) gathering of friends is of course coffee - even better, a frozen, refreshing coffee that fits the climate and the season.

In Greece we love iced coffees - frappe have been for years a cornerstone of Greek coffee culture, while both freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino are beverages born in our country. The new trend in cold coffee, Cold Brew, is of course slowly becoming a follower here. Glucose and refreshing, Cold Brew can be the pallet for particularly interesting flavor combinations. Of course, Cold Brew can easily be prepared at home if we have prepared to start the preparation from the previous day.

Having presented imaginative cocktail recipes with Cold Brew's basic ingredient, we present today mocktails without barking in the barmen language. Refreshing, light and delicious, Cold Brew Mocktails will give you another twist in your afternoon coffee without worrying about alcohol consumption. Of course, you can experiment freely with the proportions, but even with the ingredients - imagination plays a key role here!
