Orange Creamsicle Cold Brew

That orange-vanilla swirl from the ice cream truck, just caffeinated. Fresh orange juice and oat milk build a creamy, citrus-bright base, our Vanilla Coffee Syrup carries the dreamsicle sweetness, and Frothy Cold Brew Concentrate goes on top as a slow pour for the layered look. The orange wakes up the coffee, the oat milk softens the edges, and you end up with something that drinks like dessert and feels like instant nostalgia.

Barista Tips

Why pour the cold brew on top instead of mixing it in?

A slow pour over the back of a spoon (or just a careful tilt) sits the cold brew on top of the milk and orange juice base, giving you a layered look you'd recognize from a creamsicle. Stir it before you sip, or sip through the layers. Either works.

What kind of orange juice should I use?

Fresh-squeezed is the move if you have an orange and a juicer. Otherwise, 100% orange juice (not from concentrate) is the next best thing. Skip breakfast cocktails and "orange drinks" because they bring sugar without the citrus brightness, which is what makes this drink land.

Can I use whole milk instead of oat?

Yes. Oat milk is what we recommend because it stays creamy without curdling against the orange juice. Whole milk can work if the juice is well-chilled and you pour it gently, but skim and 2% are more likely to break and read thin against the cold brew.

Frothy Coffee Concentrate$27.00

Our cold brew blend is built for cold extraction. Guatemalan and Ethiopian coffees give it a creamy body with refreshing brightness and notes of Bartlett pear, milk chocolate, and hazelnut. That natural sweetness is what lets the orange and vanilla land as creamsicle instead of clashing with the coffee. Keep a bottle in the fridge for builds like this one.

$8.00

Made in Nashville with real vanilla, no artificial flavor. It's the syrup we use across every Frothy Monkey cafe location, and in this drink it carries the soft-serve vanilla note that makes a creamsicle taste like a creamsicle. The orange brings the brightness, the vanilla brings the dessert.
