# Our New Cold Bar Serves Zero-Proof Delights

## Coffee and cocktails, together at last

As experimental as a cocktail bar and just as social, the Blue Bottle Cold Bar is a place to unwind and refresh with friends and co-workers. This space aspires to more be than a spot to drown your sorrows. When you savor a Suzuki Refresher (you can find the recipe for this sparkling cold brew coffee below) or share a Flight of Iced (shots of New Orleans, Oji, and Single-Origin coffees) with friends, you're not just refueling—you're enjoying an experience.

Now featured at two of our cafes— [South Park](/content/cafes/south-park/index.html) in San Francisco and [Bradbury](/content/cafes/bradbury/index.html) in Downtown Los Angeles—we think of Cold Bar as the invigorating complement to each cafe’s overall tranquility. Inspired by our founder [James Freeman](/content/frequency/tokyo-in-five-cups-of-coffee?preview_token=BTurfem5wbQUHzvUWCJnSQ/index.html)’s love of mixing spirits, we crowdsourced five recipes from our international baristas for the menu.

Their ingenious formulae run the gamut, from reimagined classics like the [Oji Old Fashioned](/content/frequency/south-park-cold-bar/index.html) (Oji coffee, jasmine simple syrup, and a twist of orange peel) to fresh takes on our favorite flavors, like the decadent Shakerato (shaken espresso and cream).

Made with [Q Tonic water](http://www.qtonic.com/index.html) and the freshest mixers, we hope these cocktails are fascinating alternatives to the drinks you already enjoy, and that everyone who stops in—for a mid-morning escape or a celebratory happy hour—finds a zero-proof indulgence that's as delightful as it is restorative.

### Suzuki Refresher

- 60 ml sparkling water
- 60 ml spearmint cold brewed coffee
- 8 grams simple syrup
- 2–3 drops of lime

Pour water into your favorite glass. Add coffee, then stir in simple syrup. Garnish with lime, have a seat somewhere comfortable, and enjoy.

### Spearmint Cold Brewed Coffee

In a 2-liter container, add 4 grams of spearmint, 28 grams of coarsely ground [Three Africas](/content/store/three-africas/index.html), and 350 ml of cold water. Steep in refrigerator for 8 hours, then strain and serve.

### Simple Syrup

Steep 5 grams of jasmine tea with 100 grams of boiling water in a pitcher or carafe for 3 minutes. Strain and add 25 grams of organic cane sugar. Let sit until dissolved. Once it's cooled to room temperature, it's ready for your Suzuki Refresher.
