FAQ

What’s the easiest iced coffee recipe to start with?

The simplest is a basic iced latte: pour 150–180ml iced coffee over 90ml iced milk, add 30ml syrup, and top with ice and whipped cream. You only need four ingredients and no special tools.

Can I make these recipes with any iced coffee?

Yes, but for best results, use a strong brewed iced coffee—either cold brew, flash-brewed, or iced espresso. Most recipes use 90–180ml of concentrate, depending on sweetness and strength.

Which cocktails or liquors work best in iced coffee?

Common options include whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka, cherry liqueur, and egg liqueurs. Each adds a distinct flavor: rum for tropical, whiskey for smoky, and cherry for dessert-like profiles.

How do I layer drinks like Floato or Royal Iced Coffee without mixing?

Pour liquids gently over the back of a spoon or let them settle—denser liquids like syrup or cream go in first, then coffee is poured slowly on top to float.

What’s the best coffee bean for iced coffee?

For iced coffee, use medium to dark roasted beans with bold flavors. FrontStreet’s Classic Blend (medium-dark, nutty, caramel) works well, especially when brewed strong for iced applications.
