What does the Coco Cold Brew taste like?

This unconventional twist on the Espresso Martini has a rich blend of flavours. The Malibu Black and coconut water provide sweet and strong coconut and tropical notes Kahlúa and cold brew form a bold coffee base. To us, it’s absolutely delish!

Can I use Malibu Original instead of Malibu Black in my Coco Cold Brew?

Definitely! We love Malibu Original as well, just keep in mind that it has a lower ABV (Alcohol By Volume) than Malibu Black, so it won’t have the same strength. Making it a perfect choice if you want a lower alcohol drink.

What does the coconut water add to my Coco Cold Brew?

Coconut water normally doesn’t contain added sugars, so it complements the sweetness of the Malibu Black and Kahlúa, while adding a lighter texture with a more accentuated coconutty flavour.

How do I get the perfect froth in my Coco Cold Brew?

Make sure you shake the mixture hard with lots of ice for 1o-15 seconds. The shaking builds up the microfoam, by making tiny air bubbles, which creates that creamy texture. As a bonus, it also keeps the drink ice cold.

How can I adjust the sweetness of my Coco Cold Brew?

Every taste is different. To make your drink a bit sweeter, we suggest adding a splash of simple syrup to the mix before shaking. If it’s too sweet, then a squeeze of lemon or lime juice will do the trick, since the acidity will counteract the sweetness.

Tools you'll need

Shaker

This is key for mixing the ingredients and creating that velvety texture. Shaking hard with ice also chills the drink. You’ll know when you’re done when the outside of the shaker starts to feel frosty. If you’re in a pinch, just use any jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Jigger or measuring tool

You’ll need one of these for measuring the right amounts of each ingredient. Our pro tip is to use a 1 oz / 30 ml shot glass instead.

Fine strainer

This keeps the ice out of your drink, but also helps to create that frothy top. If you don’t have a fine strainer, you can use a slotted spoon or a fine mesh sieve.

Glass

This drink is best served in a classic martini glass or any fancy cocktail glass you have at home. Just remember that this recipe is for two, so make sure you have a couple of glasses for your friend.
