Our coffee-based cocktail recipes | Our coffee-based cocktail recipes
The days are getting longer and the mercury is rising; Summer is indeed approaching! We thought it would be good to share with you some coffee-based cocktail recipes to celebrate the return of balcony aperitifs with friends! It was obvious to use high-end syrups from the thriving Montreal company ¾ d'ounce , with whom we share a wall in our premises at the Quartier Général in Villeray.
CASCARA SPRITZ
As soon as the winter coat is put away for the season, the spritz season can finally begin! Although the classic recipe is impeccable, we wanted to create a version in our image with a coffee-derived product that we particularly like: cascara. Cascara means shell in Spanish, it is the outer layer of the coffee cherry once the coffee beans have been removed. Normally being an organic waste produced in large quantities during coffee processing or even a fertilizer used on coffee farms, this product can act as a second income for the producer. Ours comes from the Helsar farm in Zarcero in Costa Rica and is here infused hot then cooled, for a thirst-quenching result with notes of honey, apricot, orange and even tamarind. So here's how to prepare it:
Ingredients :
- ½ oz homemade Spritz syrup per ¾ ounce
- 1 ½ oz Prosecco
- 1 oz cooled Cascara infusion
- A splash of lemon juice
- A slice of orange to decorate
- Serve over ice
Cascara infusion:
Ratio 1:25 (example: 20 g for 500 g)
6 minutes of infusion
Ingredients: Cascara, lime, water.
- Weigh the cascara
- Add half the volume of hot water and add lime juice (to taste).
Start the clock. - Shake well with a spoon, crushing the cascara well.
- Add the remaining hot water.
- Filter after 6 minutes of infusion and let cool.

CASCARA SPRITZ
Taking off our winter coats means spritz season can finally begin! Although the classic recipe is flawless, we wanted to create a version in our image with a coffee by-product that we are particularly fond of: cascara. Cascara is Spanish for husk and shell, it is the outer layer of the coffee cherry once the coffee beans have been removed. Usually an organic waste produced in large quantities during the processing of coffee or a fertilizer used on coffee farms, this product can act as a second income for the producer. Ours comes from the Helsar de Zarcero farm in Costa Rica and once brewed with boiling water and cooled, it offers a thirst-quenching result with notes of honey, apricot, orange and even tamarind. Here's how to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- ½ oz of syrup Spritz Maison by ¾ ounce
- 1 ½ oz of Prosecco
- 1 oz of Cascara
- A dash of lemon juice
- A slice of orange for decoration
- Serve over ice
Cascara infusion:
Ratio 1:25 (example: 20 g for 500 g)
Infusion time: 6 minutes
Ingredients: Cascara, lime, water.
- Weigh the cascara
- Add half the volume of hot water and add lime juice (to taste).
- Start the timer
- Crush the cascara and stir well
- Add the remaining hot water.
- Filter after 6 minutes and let cool.
