Expert Notes
- Keeping A Chilled Mocktail - While serving your drink over a large cube of ice is great for keeping this perfect drink cool. You can ensure it stays cold longer by storing all of the ingredients and the glass in the fridge before serving. Glasses can be stored in the freezer, but remember that the ingredients do not contain any alcohol, so they shouldn't be stored in the freezer.
- Experiment With Coffee Flavors - If using coffee as your base instead of a NA spirit, try to switch it up with flavored coffee. My favorite is hazelnut, but you can choose your favorite and really make this drink your own. Fresh ground coffee beans or the strong coffee flavors of espresso will truly create the best experience.
- Garnishing: While garnishes are optional, a maraschino cherry or luxardo cocktail cherry can add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal. Experiment with different garnishes to find your preferred finishing touch. Add cinnamon sticks or twist of orange peel to level up this flavorful drink.
