BUMBLE COFFEE INGREDIENTS
This drink is made with only a few ingredients and in 5 minutes. All you need to do is have some ice cubes ready to cool the drink.
Espresso – a coffee or espresso you like is the base for this coffee mocktail. Freshly brewed and cooled in the refrigerator is best. The quality of your coffee/espresso is essential, so if you can choose a high-quality espresso.
Orange juice –fresh orange juice is the best for this drink.
Maple syrup – since orange juice is sweet, we only use a little bit to sweeten this drink. It adds a different level of sweetness to this mocktail.
Sparkling water and ice cubes – to make this drink cold and bubbly, add cooled sparkling water in addition to the ice cubes.
Mint extract – is an optional ingredient, but coffee and mint are a fantastic match. Just 1 drop per glass will give this mocktail a little freshness.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS
There are a few substitutions and variations possible for this coffee recipe.
Make it caffeine-free
While this drink is alcohol-free, it is not caffeine-free. To make this drink caffeine-free, replace the coffee or espresso with a caffeine-free coffee.
Extra punch
If you miss a punch, add a slice of fresh ginger (sliced) to the cold coffee brew. The difference is subtle, but it gives this coffee a nice punch.
Sweetener
Feel free to use any other sweetener for this drink. I recommend using a syrup-based sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave syrup.
Warming and cooling
This drink can be served all year round, but you can adjust the recipe slightly to make it more cooling or warming. Omit the mint extract and replace it with almond extract or a small pinch of cinnamon to make this drink warming. For a literally more warming drink, you can omit the ice cubes and serve the drink in a smaller glass.
FINAL BUMBLE COFFEE TIPS
Before we relax and sip our drinks, here are a few tips.
- The taste will mostly stay the same if you use caffeine-free coffee. Only coffee powder replacements, such as Dandy Blend, will change the flavor. It’s a personal preference if you like that combination, but it’s worth a try!
- Serve this drink in a large glass to accommodate the ice cubes. The more ice cubes you use, the more the layers will stay separated.Eventually, after a few good stirs, the drink will turn completely brown.
- Make the cold brew the night before and keep it in the fridge so you can whip up this drink in less than 5 minutes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I make this ahead?
The cold brew coffee and the orange juice can be made ahead. It is best to serve this drink immediately after combining it in a glass. Freshly squeezed orange juice can be kept in the fridge for about 4 days before it becomes less sweet and a little sour.
Can you mix orange juice and coffee?
Yes! Coffee and orange juice are a not-so-common but absolutely great combination. You will often find coffee shops offering coffee with orange juice.
Can I add alcohol to this drink?
You can turn this mocktail into a co*cktail by adding 1/5 oz (15 ml) of vodka and 1/5 oz of a coffee liqueur to the recipe. If the coffee liqueur is sweet, you might have to reduce or omit the maple syrup.
Can I use an iced coffee for this recipe?
You can use a cold brew coffee or an iced coffee for this recipe. The difference is that iced coffee is brewed with hot water, and cold brew is brewed with cold water.
