You can make these simple, delicious cold brew cocktails at home! Featuring Cornerstone Coffeehouse Cold Brew, HOLLA Spirits, Howie’s Spiked, Ploughman Cider, and more.
My bartending style is pretty simple. I like to keep my home bar stocked with some of my favorite goodies, including local spirits and easy (but interesting) mixers.
All of the below recipes use Cornerstone Coffeehouse Cold Brew ($10), which I highly recommend. Plus, you can pick up snacks and loads of other goodies while you’re there.
I also feature HOLLA Spirits Vodkas in the below cold brew cocktail recipes. HOLLA is a York-based spirits company with a solid, affordable, and accessible product (they’re in all Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores, and you can easily order online – they ship to 40 states).
Your bar cart also needs some special treats to amp up simple recipes. You’ll want a jar (or two!) of Spiked Cherries for some of the recipes below. You can find them where beer is sold – including GIANT – or order online.
