Coffee Lemonade
Coffee Lemonade, also known as 'Laura Palmer' after the iconic character from Twin Peaks, is a refreshing and unusual beverage that combines the robust flavors of coffee with the tartness of lemonade. This unique drink starts with a base of cold-brewed coffee to give a smooth, low-acid profile. It's then mixed with a homemade lemonade crafted from fresh lemon juice, water, and a sweetener such as simple syrup or honey. The result is a caffeinated, invigorating concoction that can be enjoyed on a hot summer day or as an interesting alternative to your morning cup of joe. To serve, pour over ice and garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an extra burst of freshness.
