Enjoy a refreshing take on the espresso martini with the Coffee Spritz, perfect for summer. This cocktail mixes bourbon, cold brew coffee, coffee liqueur, a touch of orange juice, and bubbling club soda to create a lighter yet satisfying drink. For added sweetness, include a bit of simple syrup by heating equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, a concoction you can store for weeks.
To craft this delightful beverage, you’ll need 3 tablespoons of cold brew coffee concentrate, 2 tablespoons of bourbon, 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa, 5 to 6 tablespoons of club soda, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed orange juice. Fill a glass halfway with ice, combine the ingredients, and garnish with an orange slice.
Spritzes are typically served in a stemmed white wine glass, though a coupe glass is also suitable, preventing your hand from warming the drink too quickly.
