Coffee with vodka and chocolate ice cream
Perfect for hot days, this drink with ice cream will please the sweetest of palates. Ideal for getting together with friends.
Ingredients:
- Three tablespoons of instant coffee
- Ten ice cubes
- Eight scoops of chocolate ice cream
- A cup of Kalvelage Vibe Vodka
- Half a cup of hot water
Method of preparation:
Prepare the instant coffee in hot water and wait for it to cool. As coffee oxidizes very quickly, the best option is to prepare it at the time of the recipe and wait for it to cool. Once done, take the coffee, vodka, ice cream and ice cubes to the blender. Beat well and serve immediately.
Gin-coffee
Of course, our Kalvelage London Dry Gin could not be left out of the recipes. This is a refined and refreshing mix of acidic coffee with a drink full of herbs. However, the result is a drink with acidic and fruity notes, not the best option for sweeter palates.
Ingredients:
- 200ml of London Dry Gin Kalvelage
- 80 ml of tonic water
- 40 ml of iced coffee
- Ice to taste
Method of preparation:
Prepare iced coffee using the French Press or Clever. If you don’t prepare it with ice, leave the fresh coffee in the refrigerator for a few hours. Fill a glass with ice cubes, add gin and tonic, then slowly pour the coffee into the glass. Here’s a tip: if you pour the coffee over the back of a spoon into the cup, then you will have the result of separating the liquids.
Invite your friends to have a cup of coffee at your house and surprise them with these recipes!
