Do The Brew
Introducing the zesty and refreshing Lemon cold Brew Sangria. This delightful concoction combines the invigorating flavors of the delicious lemon cold brew coffee with a hint of sophistication from the White Zinfandel Wine. We add a splash of triple-sec, a generous pour of vodka, and a dash of cardomon bitters to elevate the taste. To balance the flavors, we incorporated a measured amount of brown sugar, which adds a touch of sweetness for those with a sweet tooth, but you can use any type of sugar. To enhance the aromatic experience, we infused this Sangria with two cinnamon sticks, lending a warm and comforting note. The subtle tang of chopped ginger adds a gentle kick, while the fragrant star anise ties it all together with its distinct flavor profile. Served over ice, this Lemon Cold Brew Sangria is the perfect blend for summer gatherings or cozy evenings with friends
