Give your iced coffee a cheeky boozy strawberry twist

If you love to sip on an iced coffee in the afternoon and you also love to make cocktails, this is a combination you shouldn't miss out on. Iced coffee is great for mixing into cocktails thanks to its robust, bitter flavor that melds well with spirits and other boozy ingredients. When you're working with coffee, one important trick is to use a stronger brew than you usually would for sipping alone, especially for ingredients like cold brew. While you might want a more mellow version of cold brew to drink on its own, when using it in cocktails it's helpful to have some extra punch, so brew it strong!

Another way to play with coffee in your drinks is to use a coffee liqueur like Mr Black. The Mr Black team recently came up with a delicious iced coffee-inspired recipe, using strawberries and cream for a taste of summer. This sweet, boozy take on the iced coffee would be the perfect cheeky afternoon treat for a lazy weekend.
