  • Flash-Brewed Coffee: Brew hot directly over ice to keep brightness and aromatics.
  • Coffee Liqueur: Make at home with cold brew, simple syrup, and vodka; steep ~1 week.

Classic Spring Coffee Cocktails

Evidence base: caffeine via EFSA, alcohol via NIAAA (NIH), and extraction quality in SCA Coffee Standards.
