Dear Listeners, <br /><br />How can this be the last episode of Series 4? We cannot believe the diversity and range of Series 4 and we owe so much of it to your fantastic input. Not to mention the lovely James, Jack, and Mijon! Thank you listeners and thanks guys! <br /><br />We are so grateful that we decided to celebrate the season and gift you with a deep dive into making the most delicious coffee cocktail that you’ve ever had! Recipes included! How is this possible? <br /><br />We reached out to two coffee cocktail mixologists: <br /><br />Dave Jameson, 2-time UK Coffee in Good Spirits Champion, a Q-Arabica grader and coach of the 2017 World Coffee in Good Spirits Champion.<br /><br />Alexandra Hager Beverage R&D Specialist for US locations of the Korean Bakery Franchise Tous Les Jours and 2022 US Coffee in Good Spirits Champion and the first US competitor at the World Championships. <br /><br />On this episode, we pick their brains to learn about why they love coffee cocktails, how they create a balanced coffee cocktail, and how they create the perfect coffee cocktail based on a person’s particular tastes. <br /><br />Then, Scott and Jools create custom coffee cocktails for each other! Get ready for a coffee adventure that will tickle your taste buds on Jools and Scott’s Coffee Cocktail Celebration!<br /><br />—<br /><br />Join our Patreon to support the show! <a href="https://bit.ly/3vrispx" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3vrispx</a> <br /><br />Enjoy the legendary experience of a Moccamaster Coffee Brewers: <a href="https://bit.ly/3ANRBqQ" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3ANRBqQ</a><br /><br />Become your own barista with Rocket Espresso: <a href="https://bit.ly/3RiBXeh" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3RiBXeh</a><br /><br />Want to learn more about our wonderful guests and the products that were featured?
