Finally, a “National Day” we can ALL get behind – National Coffee Day! Granted, it’s pretty much National Coffee everyday in my world, but today is a day to FULLY broadcast my obsession with all things coffee.
One of the coolest things about coffee… you know, aside from the whole “making adulting possible on even the worst of days” and “giving me the motivation I need to be a human” each morning things… is the way it is so versatile. You can enjoy it every single day of the year – summer, winter, fall, spring. It’s always flexible and in the mood for a great time.
I also love how it can be dressed up or dressed down – used in recipes or simply poured into a comforting mug.
The fun recipes below are beautiful, fun, and outrageously delicious – everything worthy of coffee. You can find Sparkling Ice drinks in grocery stores, department stores, and even on Amazon.
Enjoy the recipes, which are shared with you courtesy of Sparkling Ice (click the link for more recipes).
THE COFFEE’S CHERRY
2 Cups Cold Brew Coffee
1/2 cup Sparkling Ice Black Cherry
Coconut Milk
Toasted Marshmallow
Combine cold brew coffee and Sparkling Ice Black Cherry and pour into two ice cube trays. Place into freezer until frozen.
Fill a Collins glass with cubes and top with coconut milk, garnish with toasted marshmallow.
Both of these recipes would be gorgeous to file away and use during the holidays, wouldn’t they? They’d be perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Day.
BLACK SAGE
Coffee Liquor
Sparkling Ice Black Raspberry
Heavy Cream
Sage Leaf
Mix coffee liqueur and Sparkling Ice Black Raspberry in a cocktail glass. Just before serving, gently add cream and garnish with a sage leaf.
