Summer kicks off this weekend. Memorial Day weekend has always been a favorite time of year for me. Growing up in a resort town, this was the weekend that the town came to life. Friends returned and new memories were made. I never wanted to miss a moment of Memorial Day weekend.
I still feel that way though things have changed and you won’t find me running around the boardwalk or bars of Sea Isle City, NJ. But I do try to get my fill of summer fun with BBQ’s, beach time and the occasional cocktail or two.
This weekend I’m kicking off a summer cocktail series. Every Friday I will be featuring a cold, yummy beverage for these hot summer days.
This drink I came up with last weekend, when we were working on getting our pool ready for the summer. I wanted a drink but I definitely needed a caffeine pick me up. Luckily I had some Rumchata and Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee concentrate. If you have never had Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee concentrate, you are seriously missing out on the best iced coffee you can make at home. This coffee is full flavored and doesn’t get that water down taste that many iced coffees have.
Rumchata Iced Coffee
1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee concentrate
1/4 cup milk (you can also use half and half )
1/4 cup Rumchata
Put ice in a 16 oz glass, then combine ingredients in glass and stir.
Instantly you have a delicious, creamy iced coffee with just the hint of coconut. Perfect for a warm summer day or a summer time brunch.
Cheers!
