Coffee cocktails make a great addition to any holiday gathering. We know espresso martinis are incredibly popular, but not everyone has an espresso machine at home so our team played with some recipes that use cold brew instead. Here are some of our favorites.
Each recipe uses Joe Bean's Cold Brew Coffee making them super easy and fast to create. You can also make your own cold brew coffee at home using our Overnight Cold Brew Recipe (see our post Three Ways To Cold Brew Coffee for details). For coffee, we recommend our Colombia Zambrano if you want a more fruit-forward coffee or our Colombia Ederleth for a more chocolaty beverage
