Coffee

6 oz cold brew concentrate (chilled)4 count ice cubes

Liqueur & Garnish

1 1/2 oz Licor 431 count whole orange peel (for garnish)

Method

Preparation

Chill and measure

Ensure your cold brew concentrate is well chilled. Measure 6 oz (about 3/4 cup) of cold brew concentrate into a jigger or measuring cup. Measure 1.5 oz Licor 43.

Build the drink

Fill a rocks glass or short tumbler with 4 ice cubes. Pour the 1.5 oz Licor 43 over the ice, then gently pour 6 oz chilled cold brew concentrate on top. Pouring the coffee slowly over the back of a spoon (optional) will create a subtle layered effect.

Finish and serve

Express the oils from the whole orange peel by holding it skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm squeeze so the citrus oils spray over the surface. Rub the peel around the rim if desired, then drop it into the glass as garnish. Serve immediately.
