Dear Listeners,

How can this be the last episode of Series 4? We cannot believe the diversity and range of Series 4 and we owe so much of it to your fantastic input. Not to mention the lovely James, Jack, and Mijon! Thank you listeners and thanks guys!

We are so grateful that we decided to celebrate the season and gift you with a deep dive into making the most delicious coffee cocktail that you’ve ever had! Recipes included! How is this possible?

We reached out to two coffee cocktail mixologists:

Dave Jameson, 2-time UK Coffee in Good Spirits Champion, a Q-Arabica grader and coach of the 2017 World Coffee in Good Spirits Champion.

Alexandra Hager Beverage R&D Specialist for US locations of the Korean Bakery Franchise Tous Les Jours and 2022 US Coffee in Good Spirits Champion and the first US competitor at the World Championships.

On this episode, we pick their brains to learn about why they love coffee cocktails, how they create a balanced coffee cocktail, and how they create the perfect coffee cocktail based on a person’s particular tastes.

Then, Scott and Jools create custom coffee cocktails for each other! Get ready for a coffee adventure that will tickle your taste buds on Jools and Scott’s Coffee Cocktail Celebration!

Combine mezcal, Campari, vermouth, cold brew in shaker or container.
