The Bitter Barista's Cold Brew Coffee Soda Float

Summer is on its way, and I’m sure many of us are looking forward to sweating our asses off like a cat trying to bury shit on a marble floor. Or not.

If you’re anything like me, you fondly remember the days spent chasing down the ice cream truck on blistering afternoons; however, we are adults now and also need caffeine to function. So today, we’ve got the best of both worlds with this indulgent recipe, smashing together our love of coffee and ice cream with a cold brew coffee soda float!

Ingredients

• Cold brew coffee
• Ice (regular or crushed, your preference)
• Club soda
• Vanilla ice cream
• Chocolate syrup

Preparation

1. Before we concoct this delectable drink, we must prepare the cold brew! There are many different ways to make it (check out BRCC's nifty brewing devices), but for this recipe, I used BRCC’s Just Black Cold Brew Packs, which make the process a breeze! I dumped two packs into a pitcher of 4 cups of water and let them sit overnight. Voila, easy cold brew! 
2. Throw some ice in your glass, and fill it halfway with your cold brew coffee.
3. Add club soda to dilute the cold brew and make it fizzy. The measurement is all to preference — how strong and fizzy do you like your coffee? I like extra fizz, so I add as much soda as possible. 
4. Add a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream.
5. Chocolate. Fucking. Syrup. Drizzle that shit on top. As much as you like — the world is your oyster! 
6. Enjoy!
