After the past year and a half, we have an even greater appreciation for the people in our lives who bring us cheer. The holiday season can be easily filled with distractions that prevent us from truly connecting – like never ending to-do lists and household tasks.

A pitcher of cold brew in the refrigerator makes everything a little better.

Arlene De La Cruz is a district manager in New York, who helped open the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2018/starbucks-reserve-roastery-begins-its-unique-new-york-state-of-grind/">Starbucks Reserve Roastery in New York</a> in 2018. From her own home kitchen in the Washington Heights neighborhood, she will show you how to make this smooth, delicious staple using a piece of brewing equipment you may already have – a coffee press.

“Cold brew is one of my favorite year-round beverages, I drink it all year,” she said. “I’ll show you an easy way to make it at home.”

But wait, there’s more – she’ll also show you how to give your cold brew a sophisticated twist inspired by two favorites on the menu at <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/visit">Starbucks Reserve Roastery locations</a> around the world.*

Here’s what you’ll need: coffee press, ground Starbucks® coffee (we love a medium roast) and water. &nbsp;

Scoop 82 grams (about 1 cup or 8 coffee scoops) of coarse-ground coffee into an 8-cup coffee press. Pour 2 cups of cool water into press. Stir with a spoon or spatula to wet the coffee grounds.

3. Place plunger and brew

Cover, but don’t plunge, and place in refrigerator. Allow to steep in the refrigerator 16-20 hours.

Take finished cold brew out of the fridge and slowly plunge the coffee press. This yields about 8 cups of cold brew concentrate. Pour into another container (such as a pitcher or large jar) and store up to seven days in refrigerator. Fill a glass of ice halfway with cold brew concentrate and top with a few ounces of cold water to enjoy as is, or keep going to learn how to give your cold brew a tasty twist.

Now, the (even more) fun part

Inspired by the coffee + ice cream beverages at the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries, the cold brew float features creamy swirls of vanilla ice cream mingling with the coffee’s smooth chocolate notes.

Taking inspiration from the Roasteries’ Sparkling Citrus Espresso beverage which features espresso shaken with ice and poured over sparkling tonic and aromatic bitters, this is a fizzy and flavorful mocktail for whenever you’re feeling fancy.

Just because you are home doesn’t mean things can’t be fabulous. Everything is better with a little glitter. In honor of International Drag Day on July 16, Portia will show you how to make a delicious virgin coffee daiquiri in your own kitchen with just a few ingredients (and a dash of unicorn sparkles).

Both Portia and the beverage are the creation of Drew Dalton Russ, a mixologist at the <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/locations/chicago">Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Chicago</a>. When he’s not working at the Roastery’s Arriviamo Cocktail Bar, he can be found on a different stage, entertaining audiences as a drag performer.

“I love performing when I can find new and interesting ways to connect with my audience,” said Drew. “I love drag because I can connect with a lot more people in that way.”

Inspired by a spiced rum coffee cocktail on the menu at the Roastery, Russ’s cold brew daiquiri is a frothy, summery beverage that highlights the citrus and maple notes of the Starbucks Cold Brew coffee.

“I like this drink because it’s nice and summery,” Drew said. “It takes just a few ingredients and the cold brew makes everything pop.”

1. Let’s get to ‘werk’

Here’s what you’ll need: lime juice, pineapple juice, simple syrup, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Starbucks-Coffee-Black-Unsweetened-Bottles/dp/B075YZ197L">Starbucks Cold Brew</a>, maple syrup, and ice.

Into the shaker, pour lime juice, simple syrup, pineapple juice and maple syrup. (Or substitute pineapple juice and maple syrup for 1-1/2 ounces dark rum). Fill to the top with ice.

Shake in a circular motion for 30 seconds. For a blended daiquiri, blend ingredients in blender for 30 seconds.

Pour shaken beverage into a cocktail glass through a strainer and garnish with a lime wheel or a shake of sprinkles. Shablam!
