This week's cold brew recipe comes to us from Italy, by way of Minneapolis. Created by Peace Coffee's Jackson O’Brien, this cocktail contains Campari, though its moniker is a bit of a misnomer. "The Café Milano is named that, because it tastes surprisingly like a Milano cookie," Jackson tells us.
We recommend starting with a dark roast coffee, as this refreshment "really benefits from a roastier, more developed cold brew to bring out dark chocolate flavors that complement the bitterness of the Campari."
Ingredients:
- 2 oz cold brew concentrate
- 1/2 oz Campari
- 1/2 oz Grand Marnier (you can substitute Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- Orange peel (optional)
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice
Cover and shake vigorously to a slow count of 10
Pour into your glass and and garnish with an orange peel
