In the winter, hard coffee will become even more popular as summer winds down and we welcome the return of White Claws. But even in the colder months, many people will be drinking seltzer instead of soft drinks. And as if that’s not enough, many beverage companies are quietly laying the groundwork for the next big trend in beverage creation: hard coffee. The relationship between coffee and alcohol has been around for centuries. White Russians were made with espresso-flavored liqueur, while espresso martinis were based on a coffee-flavored liqueur. But now, with the craft beer revolution, coffee-flavored beers are available as well.
The combination of coffee and alcohol is a timeless one that has helped entice drinkers around the world. After consuming a drink with alcohol, many people prefer to wash it down with a hot cup of coffee to stay alert. These beverages are typically made with dark liquors and are easy to make. Some coffee liqueurs add sweetness and flavor to the beverage. Infusing your beverage with alcohol will increase the sales of your beverages and make it more exciting for your customers.
When you’re ready to incorporate some alcoholic drinks into your coffee menu, consider using whole beans. A hundred grams of whole beans can be combined with 200 g of alcohol. Place the mixture in the fridge for several hours before separating it. Filter the liquid before serving it to get the best flavor. This will enhance the aroma of your drink, and you may even want to pair it with some whipped cream or rose lemonade.
