I’ve been at Lady Jane for about 2.5 years. I really enjoy contributing to our very creative cocktail program. Most of my cocktails are inspired by food and nostalgia. This one is no different.

Coffee Preparation

• For our cold brew concentrate, we use a 5:1 water to coffee ratio.
• We take our ground coffee and put it into a toddy bag.
• We submerge the coffee bag into the water and place a weight on top to fully immerse.
• Our steeping process takes 22 hours.
• After 22 hours we remove the bag and double strain the cold brew.
• Then we deli and keep in a cooler for up to a week.
