Hehe, don't thank me yet. The general consensus seem to be that it's an abomination from the deepest circles of hell ;)

Well the orange juice is certainly the dominant flavor and the coffee adds some nice bitter notes to it. The ginger then brings a nice spicy kick if you like that sort of thing in your food/drinks (I do, obviously)

I'd never have thought of mixing coffee and orange on my own. Same with espresso tonic. But it turns out I like both Or maybe my brain just suffers (more) damage when the room temperature exceeds 27°C 🤷

lol, good luck, I can already see them grabbing their pitchforks. And if they do let you live, ask them if they have any crazy recipes of their own and share with us ;)

I swear it's not a joke - I do actually drink this. And the two friends I got to try it at least haven't sued me for poisoning them, so it can't be that bad

One of my summer favorites: Iced coffee + orange juice + ginger (lemmy.world)
 

The coffee sunrise post earlier reminded me of one of my summer favorites (I just suck at taking pretty pictures but I think you'll get the idea):

  • a strong coffee (this one is 125ml from an aeropress but a double shot of espresso/lungo also works very well)
  • about 3-4 medium sized ice cubes (enough to still have ice after pouring the hot coffee)
  • ~120ml orange juice (adjust to taste and/or the size of your cup)
  • 10-20ml of nice spicy ginger juice (if the bottle says "don't drink pure", you got the right stuff)
  • pour the coffee slowly onto the ice cubes
  • Wait a bit so it gets nicely chilled.

I like slowly sipping about half of the top layer (it's basically an iced coffee at that point) before stirring and enjoying the final mix

Dunno if there is a name for that recipe, I just combined two stolen ingredient ideas (I saw a youtube video about espresso+orange juice once and a local café had an extremely tasty cold-drip based drink that included ginger)
