Kick of the Coffee Flip
Submitted by: Jason Dreyer Dreyer
Since the birth of cocktails, bartenders and home mixologists alike have explored using fresh coffee in their creations, opening avenues to create icons like The Irish Coffee and the less spirit forward thirst-quencher for this month - the Coffee Flip.
In the early years of the Coffee Flip the cocktail was a mix of beer and coffee that would be drunk in winter, prepared in a beer mug brought up to temperature with a red-hot fire poker. The Coffee Flip we know today has gone through a bit of an evolution - a marriage of coffee and ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. But don’t worry no fire here, this one uses ice!
Time for you to experiment…
