Substitute

Sometimes, it’s fun to switch things up. Here are a few substitutes you can try for an Irish Cream Cold Brew Cocktail.

• Coffee: I like using espresso for a stronger taste. If regular brew is your thing, that works too!
• Milk: Swap regular milk with almond or oat milk for a nutty twist.
• Irish Cream: You can use a non-alcoholic cream or another flavored liqueur if you want something different.
• Sweetener: I often use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a unique flavor.

These changes can create new and exciting flavors, so feel free to experiment. Each substitute brings its own charm to the drink.
