The days are getting longer and I am already feeling the summer days are coming closer. And there is nothing better than an ice-cold beverage in a hot summer day. I discovered so many different nice recipes for coffee drinks: Coffee cocktails without alcohol ,Cocktails with alcohol and much more. But what I haven’t found is something quick and easy.
And if you want to try something else than ice coffee, there is an alternative: Cold brew!
And we tried out different mix of cold brew coffee and sodas.
2 Beverages mixed – it can’t get easier!

Cold brew, Cranberry juice, Balcony – you are my dream team. Can’t wait.
What is Cold Brew Again?
Cold brew experiences a new boost! You are wondering what is it actually?
Here some key characteristic’s:
- cold beverage
- coarsely ground coffee, which dissolved in room temperature water
- can be brewed until 24 hours (the tested one was brewed for 10h)
- It’s not the same as cold drip – cold brew is in comparison rather mild
- contains more caffeine than hot brewed coffee (per 100ml between espresso and Filter coffee – see table here)
Benefits?
- aromas can in aroma differ to the hot brew method – there can’t be an undesired bitter taste (because of the mild preparation)
- It is less sour
Where do I get it?
Make it yourself – with the recipe from deathwishcoffee. BUT you need some time and planning.
Some retailers in Switzerland have started to sell cold brew, I guess if it’s not the case yet it will also come soon in your country.
If you are lucky – you have a hipster place around the corner which sells you cold brew in a coffeeshop.
Summer – you may come. I am ready.
