Recipe Tips
- Use a dark-roast cold brew to ensure the coffee's bitterness balances the natural sugars in the apple cider.
- For the best texture, choose an 'extra creamy' or 'barista blend' oat milk which holds its structure better when poured into cold liquids.
- Chill the glass in the freezer for 5 minutes before assembly to keep the drink colder for longer.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: To serve a group, pre-mix the cold brew, apple cider, and cinnamon-honey syrup in a large carafe. When serving, pour 7 ounces of the pre-mix into individual ice-filled glasses, then top each with 2 ounces of oat milk and a generous splash of soda water to maintain the carbonation.
Easy swaps: Substitute maple syrup for the honey in the syrup recipe for a woodier, autumnal sweetness. Use almond milk instead of oat milk for a lighter, nuttier flavor profile. Replace soda water with sparkling apple juice for an even more intense fruit forward experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use standard iced coffee instead of cold brew concentrate?
Standard iced coffee is typically less concentrated and may result in a thinner, less flavorful drink once the cider and soda water are added.
How long does the cinnamon-honey syrup last?
The syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Is there a specific type of apple cider that works best?
Fresh, unfiltered apple cider provides the best flavor and body; avoid clear apple juice which lacks the necessary tartness and complexity.
