Orange Coffee:

[MyMugsHalfFull]

Halloween is upon us, and I wanted to share a recipe that was pretty darned good for orange coffee

Take your favorite roasted coffee and add a dash (1 oz or less, depends on your personal taste) of orange liqueur. Sounds weird, tastes great.

It also goes really well with pumpkin pie


You can add whipped cream to the top if you want, but I like it with just the orange.

For those who are more adventurous you can also add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix too.

I just read this post, although Halloween is gone past, but I am having a look at this thread now.
OMG, it seriously sounds extremely weird, orange liqueur in roasted coffee? :question:
Tell me, is it your own invention? or is this a reputed recipe?
have you tried it yourself? And don't tell me a dash of cinnamon on top of that?
Ahhhhh,......lol.....:grin:

Not my recipe. Actually pretty popular if you do a search online. The first time I had it was in a small diner in Canada. They had it for a Halloween special.. It's sort of a tradition now

No... I don't put cinnamon on top.. I'm not really a big fan of cinnamon.. maybe nutmeg... As I do like it in Eggnog... Now... THERE's an idea lol....

Well Gran Marinier is orange liquor. Tastes great in coffee especially when it is cold and frigid outside.

Well, Exclusively my opinion and I owe it, lol.......
I see no point in having an orange coffee. Even though it might be very popular these days, yet I don't like the basic concept. If I want the orange taste, I would go for orange juice and on the other hand, if I want the coffee taste, then I would go for coffee. lol......Might be strange but that is how, I think. A bit crazy, I know......

Must be going good about now then.. If memory serves, now's about the time it starts dropping rapidly.. I remember it snowing on Halloween a few years in a row!

I cannot digest the concept of "orange coffee". Will someone convince me as to why should I go for orange coffee?

We can't force you to do anything. You need to make your own choices No one is going to try and convince you around here.. We leave that to all the Spammers hawking the latest XYZ Coffee Maker, or the newest coffee MLM scheme

Lol, OMG, I didn't at all mean that. I meant that I am so far not convinced to make or taste orange coffee because I just don't like the assumed taste of it, lol......
I would like to be convinced, though......lol, no I mean, I would like to be persuaded.......whatever you say ! :wink:

So you finally persuaded me, Okay, I am going to try this "orange coffee" this weekend.

Why wait for the weekend? Why not do it now?

No time like the present... And all that Jazz.

I agree with MyMugsHalfFull,
Try it today, you might be pleastantly surprised.

Actually, make a latte, add orange syrup (or just squeeze an orange into the cup), add cocoa powder, then some orange zest on top, you have a Cafe Borgia. Essentially a mocha latte with orange. I used to make these when I was head barista at a coffee bar in Palo Alto. It's an incredible drink.

Cheers!

You have mentioned elsewhere that you worked as a Barrista, so you can vouch for orange liquere in coffee... What would you recommend as a liquere? I am no expert, and just basically throw in what I can find.. But what is the official one used?
