Coffee Meets Tequila: Where to find the best Coffee Margaritas in Bali
Hey Margarita Lovers!
Josephine Bela here, ready to chat about one of my favorite cocktail twists and where to find the best in Bali! If you're like me and love both coffee and margaritas, you're in for a treat. Coffee-infused margaritas are perfect for brunch or as an evening pick-me-up while watching the sunset.
Imagine the rich, bold flavors of coffee blending seamlessly with the zesty, refreshing taste of a margarita. It's like a match made in cocktail heaven! While I'm not a bartender, I can share a few fun ideas on how to mix these two favorites. For the detailed recipes, we’ll leave that to our expert, Barry Baza Forest, to whip up later.
First up, try adding a shot of freshly brewed coffee or cold brew to your classic margarita. The coffee adds depth and a slight bitterness that pairs wonderfully with the lime and tequila. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, swap out your regular tequila for a smoky mezcal and mix it with coffee for a unique twist.
For those with a sweet tooth, a splash of coffee liqueur can do wonders. It adds a rich, sweet flavor that balances the tartness of the lime. And don't forget to garnish with a few coffee beans or an orange twist for that extra touch.
If you're in Bali and craving a coffee margarita, these are some of the best spots in Bali where you can savor this heavenly blend of rich, robust flavors:
