  • Now it’s time to cool your drink. Ice is essential for a refreshing Coffee Tonic Orange. Use ice cubes or crushed ice. Ice not only chills the drink but also adds a lovely texture.
    Fill the glass with ice cubes.
    Ensure the ice reaches the top of the glass.
    Using a lot of ice helps keep the drink cold longer. As the ice melts, it will slightly dilute the flavors. This is fine, as it balances the sweetness of the orange juice.

  • The next step is to add cold brew coffee. Cold brew is smooth and less acidic, making it perfect for this drink. You will need about half a cup of cold brew coffee.
    Use a good quality cold brew.
    Pour it gently over the ice.
    Watch the coffee swirl with the orange juice and tonic water. This creates an attractive layered effect. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add a little more cold brew.
    Cold brew coffee also keeps the drink refreshing. It won’t get too warm too quickly. This drink is perfect for enjoying outdoors.
  • Now it's time to mix your drink. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture. This helps blend the flavors without losing too many bubbles. Be careful not to stir too hard.
    Stir until the drink is mixed well.
    Check the taste. Adjust with more orange juice or coffee if needed.
    After mixing, your Coffee Tonic Orange is ready to serve. Pour it into a clean glass if desired. You can garnish with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint.
    Serve it immediately for the best taste. Enjoy the fizzy, fruity, and coffee flavors together. This drink will surely impress family and friends.
