Cold brew tonic with orange is a non-alcoholic summer drink that combines mildly bitter cold brew coffee, refreshing tonic, and fresh orange juice. Citrus aroma and the effervescence of tonic together create a light, sparkling beverage perfect for an afternoon refresh. The batch fills four tall glasses with ice and an orange slice, and it takes ten minutes of hands-on work.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
Measure out 240 ml of chilled cold brew coffee. Wash the oranges well under cold water. Cut one in half and squeeze it with a citrus juicer into a measuring jug. Strain the juice through a fine sieve so it is clear and free of pulp. From the second orange, cut 4 thin slices for garnishing the glasses.
TIP:
After juicing the oranges, strain the juice through a fine sieve to remove the pulp and fibrous bits. You’ll obtain a clear, smooth juice that blends better with cold brew and tonic.
2
In a bowl or jug, mix the cold brew coffee with 80-100 ml of orange juice. Adjust the ratio to taste, more juice gives a fresher citrus base. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add simple syrup and stir briefly.

Building the drink

3
Fill 4 tall glasses evenly with ice and place them on the counter.
4
Pour about 150 ml of tonic into each glass. Then slowly pour the coffee-orange mixture down the side of the glass or over a spoon to create gentle layering and keep the drink fizzy.
