A Guide to the Perfect Cold Drinks Menu - How to plus a FREE recipe guide!

Hey guys today , I'm talking you through the cold drink menu .

We're gonna cover everything from cold brew , iced lattes , ice on blacks and , and these are the top 10 drinks you should find on a good cafe menu .

I'm gonna talk you through the way that we prepare them and our recipes .

So let's kick it off with an iced latte .

Now , often some confusion between an iced latte and an iced coffee .

So let's start here with our 2 20 mil latte glass .

Now I'm gonna need um my , I'm gonna use a single shot for this one .

Now , all of these copies are gonna be based on the artist recipe , which you can go back and watch the video .

We'll put a link below to how to prepare the artist recipe , but it is using a 21 g basket .

We've got 22.5 g of coffee in our head and our full double double shot extraction will be 45 g of yield .

So therefore , when I'm doing my single shot , I am just using 22.5 g of coffee from one side of that double spout .

If I'm doing a double reto I'll be catching both sprouts and I'll still be getting that 22.5 g of coffee .

Now , I'm going to grab this , I'm also just gonna chuck one little cube of ice in there .

I'll catch the other side , but I'm gonna use this single shot because I'm cooling that one down .

So obviously , we're trying to avoid dropping hot coffee straight on to , into the drink and warming up the drink , which is not ideal , but you know , sometimes you can't avoid it if you're in the rush , we still want the coffee to taste great throughout this whole process .

I'm still trying to use fresh coffee but not necessarily the hottest coffee .

So while that's running , I will just get a good amount of ice in my glass .

Yeah .

Now make it look pretty .

I'll go a little bit low tide on that one .

Grab this already pre chilled and that right there is an iced latte .

Beautiful .

I love those .

I often order those myself .

So I haven't mentioned this already .

Stick it out with me .

Keep going through these and I've got something special for you at the end of this video .

So let's just move straight on to an iced chai .

So this is a little bit different now where I've made a mix , I've just melted down some of the chai powder .

Um You can also use a chai syrup and you're basically just wanting it to be nice and chilled and preprepared .

I've got that ready to go .

So again , I'll just chuck some ice in my glass , top her up with milk and then I can go straight over the top with my beautiful and sweet , nice little chilled drink for your summer .

So let's jump straight over and do a nice turmeric again .

A bit of an odd one .

But , you know , something quite different if you're looking for a point of difference in your cafe .

So we sell a golden Turmeric .

Uh It's Alchemy brand .

Um All of these products you can buy through us .

If you have an AUM account , you can connect to us and order these products through us as well .

But we've tried and tested these , we love them .

They're great products .

So , um and a lot of our wholesale cafe partners are using them as well .

And obviously , when we go into summer , everyone stocks up to be able to make these , you know , unique drinks on their menu .

So , again , just for the customer's experience , we're always chasing that .

When you put that cup down on the table , you want it to look beautiful .

If you've got the opportunity to grab a tasting card that you can put with that um that coffee that you're serving or the drink , and therefore you'll be able to give that customer even better experience of what they're tasting .

So there we go .

Now let's jump straight into cold brew , so cold brew , we obviously have to prepare prior to making the drink on the spot , which makes it a great drink , a great cold drink for any menu because you can preprepare it .

You could even have it ready to serve on the spot as a customer orders and speed up your service for us .

We have a range of different brewing devices that we use and we , we sell these in cold drip .

You've got your brewer system that is a puck puck attachment um that goes onto your AO .

So if you have an air , you can turn your air into a co brew device and it's amazing .

So I've also go unprepared here .

I've got an Ethiopian uh gui in here that's been chilling .

There's more , there's more videos on our , on our recipes for these .

So I won't go into um how to brew those right now .

But obviously having them pre prepared is gonna be key to success on the cold brews , but it's very simple .

We just have that ready to go .

You just top that up straight on top of that ice and that is your culberry .

So one drink that we don't come across a lot would be the iced long black .

And there again , a lot of confusion around this one .

But basically , you're preparing a long black um chilled cold water ice .

Now I'm just gonna prepare some ice in this shot glass because I'm gonna put my double reto shot straight on top of that ice and start chilling it .

I will also just prep this as well .

So while this is , I'll get my shot on in a second , but I've got a good amount of ice there , I'd use some chilled , chilled water to just have that ready to go and we'll get that double of straight , straight on for that .

Now , I'm using our Champion blend here , but again , you could , you can change it up , go to a single origin and have that better experience for the customer , you know , change the range of flavor that they're going to get .

Alright , so ice on black .

Good to go M to four and I would just sit that straight over the top .

Again , you maintain that creer .

It is nice and fresh , fresh in there and that is an iced long black .

Now , all of these recipes are obviously based on our small size .

Should you go to a large , if you wanna do a big one , if you're doing a takeaway , you wanna go in like a 500 mil um takeaway cup .

Obviously , you can increase the recipes much like you would have a small coffee , single shot , a double ache .

You can just go up to your double shot all your triples .

But I always encourage all of our , all of our cafe partners and everyone watching to taste everything .

If you want to get the best experience for your customer , you've got to taste them .

You should know what they taste like when you're selling them .

But also just to get your ratios right .

So again , these are the right ratios for our recipe .

The 2 20 mil glass , the 1 70 mil um tulip cup there .

So try and test it all tastes delicious .

Now everyone should know an arigato .

But how do we make it here at artist ?

We are simply dropping a double shot straight on top or a double shot that I'm gonna pour over the top of ice-cream .

Nice creamy vanilla ice cream .

So I'll get that shot started .

Yeah , so this one there's obviously more you know we know it is like a dessert kind of drink but beautiful on a hot , hot day again .

Change the experience with the nice um iced drink .

Where am I going ?

Alright , I'm gonna drop this over a straight on top of some ice again actually .

Now what I've done a double reto bar that's not what I want .

I'm gonna drink that one anyway , but I actually want a double shot .

So let's do a double shot .

That's what I get trying to do many things at once again .

I'm also not gonna chill my glass cos I don't want that ice in there .

I'm getting caught up on all the other drinks .

I'm just gonna go , I'm gonna go straight into my life into that pilo glass .

Now .

Yes , I will probably get comments about people saying that you're leaving Cremer behind on the PLO glass .

I understand that that is a part of the process , but I also want to not completely melt this ice cream prior to , prior to serving it .

So let's , let's make sure that the whole experience is great .

It's nice and warm here in Australia .

So our ice cream is already melted for us .

There's plenty of ice cream .

I went for one scoop .

I probably ended up with uh more than one scoop .

I've got a double shot of ice cream .

I'm gonna pour that straight on top .

Now , that is beautiful .

To be honest , I could have backed off on the ice cream a little bit .

I like ice cream .

So I'd be pretty stoked if I got that as an avocado in , in a cafe .

Nice full double espresso , 45 g of liquid .

It's such a good experience for the customer and they'll love that .

So that is our small drinks because now we're gonna move on to our iced mocha , our iced coffee and iced chocolate and then do a , so let's move over and we're gonna prepare an iced coffee .

So I've got a 500 mil um tall glass here .

I'm gonna start by putting a good amount of ice in the bottom of this glass .

Cos what I wanna do is is obviously make sure it's chilled , but get the , get the ice cream scoop to the top of the surface .

I'm gonna serve this with a straw and a spoon .

So I'm gonna sneak them in there early .

I could have put them in the starter , but sneak them in there early now just to make this video a little bit faster and cheat a little bit myself .

I'm just gonna , um , prepare this one .

But if I was doing an iced chocolate , I'd be doing the same thing I'd be making .

Um , I'd just be putting a drizzle of chocolate around the outside .

I'm gonna need a double shot for this one as well .

So I'll just get that ready while I talk .

But basically , if I was making nice chocolate , I would have done this same process .

I would have just put a little drizzle of chocolate around the outside and poured that chocolate straight on top and that would be my iced chocolate .

Now , same process again .

Well , I'm gonna turn this iced coffee into an iced mocker so you can see that right .

You'll notice obviously I'm a little bit low tide on , on that cos I've got to fit the coffee in .

The last thing you want to do is fill up with milk and , and then you're gonna run out of room for your , for your coffee .

Beautiful , cool .

So there's our double espresso coming in again for the customer's experience .

We wanna make sure that they're getting a beautiful looking espresso pouring through that milk and they get that experience and I can top that off a little bit of drizzle and Choy on top there .

So that to me is a delicious iced coffee .

Now , like I said , if I hadn't put the chocolate , the coffee in there and I just put some chocolate around the outside and I put a drizzle of chocolate um all through it .

I'd be making an iced chocolate .

Now , I can turn this into an iced mocha just by adding that chocolate .

Now , this is curly chocolate that we sell and we use here .

It's in our shakers for our cappuccinos .

We use it for our hot chocolates , but we also melt that down and put it into a pump bottle .

So when we're busy , we're not always mixing little trick for you .

But um basically I can now just that is an ice Tomoka .

Now , obviously a customer's gonna get that , they're gonna mix that through and experience that whole thing .

But for you , as much as you're tempted to mix that through for them , for the drinking experience , they will do that .

You can send it out looking beautiful like that .

So that is now an iced mocha moving on to our coffee frappe .

Now these can again , a little bit of work .

So what we're gonna do is just get our ice ideally , you know , partly crushed ice is , is helpful .

Big ice cubes can be , can be challenging .

Now , a fr is , is predominantly ice .

It's not going to be um not really supposed to be a super milky drink , but I do put some , a little bit of ice cream in there .

A little bit of milk and that coffee .

Now I'm gonna use this .

Now , I'm gonna put a fresh shot on for this one .

So again , I will use a full double shot espresso in this , that 45 g of yield .

Great .

Like I said , predominantly icy .

Leave them out cool .

I'm gonna snake a little bit of ice cream in there .

Of course , you know , you do it your way .

This is how we do it here .

It tastes great .

So we've got a double shot gonna that straight in there .

So gonna make sure that I've got plenty of ice because that's the , that's gonna be the main thing for me because it's gonna make it really icy and you want that consistency .

You're not making an iced coffee milkshake .

Essentially .

We want the ice to be the dominant thing here .

So you know what , I'm just gonna make sure I've got plenty of ice just using a Nutribullet .

Nice and simple obviously is far bigger and better blenders that we could be using .

But you go see , I want lots of ice in there .

But the challenge is to make sure you've got enough liquid to make sure you've got a good amount of good a man in there .

See , we're close , I'm just gonna top up a little bit just so I can make sure that it's gonna get out of there .

But for me , I want this to be nice and icy .

Let's go one more time .

Wonderful .

All right , here we go .

Yeah .

Oh big jug skinny glass .

But this is , is what we want .

We want this to be this .

Now , I will say like if you're a bit of a sweet tooth and you want to make any of these sweeter , of course , you can always sneak a little squirt of vanilla in there .

Look at the mess I'm making .

It's alright .

It's all good fun .

You can always sneak a bit of vanilla in there .

A bit of caramel , anything you like just to just to sweeten it up .

But for me , we wanna make sure that we do maintain that that coffee flavor and we're not , you know , changing the cof flavor of the coffee too much and that right there .

I think I'm gonna need that spoon .

Syringa .

I think that is that for me it's a tasty coffee .

Now , if once we've got our iced mocha iced coffee , iced chocolate .

They are the 10 main drinks I would love to see on everyone's good coffee menu .

The other thing that you could do that I um wanted to add was there's no reason that you can , can't get creative .

You could buy coffee drip bags like this and it will pour over bags , take the top off , brew , brew this coffee drip bag , put it in the fridge and then chuck it in your favorite takeaway cup to bring it out of the fridge when you want just for home .

Um So there's plenty of ways to drink cold coffee .

You can chill it .

You're just trying to maintain the flavor .

So that's another quick one , guys , they are all the drinks , but stick around .

I've got something for you .

So we've done this before with our hot drinks menu .

So if you haven't got this before , you can see the hot drinks menu .
