The orange juice americano (orange juice coffee) is a refreshing twist on the classic americano, swapping water out for orange juice, blending the bitter and robust flavours of espresso with the citrusy zing of orange juice.
I'll keep this post short to aid your RSI acquired from scrolling through pages of empty language on food blogs. FYI, in case you wondered, the reason recipe posts go on for multiple pages is because the SEO plugins and popular theme packages most food bloggers use tell us off for writing fewer than 300 characters. They also provide guidance to not only include the recipe, but to write about each and every ingredient separately in the post. Plus myriad other things that are devised to appease the SEO and advertising gods but in reality suck away your wills to live. I've run this blog since 2006 but it never got very popular because I value my own voice more than empty PR language. Even if I do go on a bit sometimes. ANYWAY.
Love it or hate it (but at least try it before you decide), blending coffee with orange juice is a popular caffeinated drink in Thailand. And on the rare days when the temperature here in London rises to the extent that I can survive with just one layer, it's my wake the fuck up beverage of choice.
If orange juice isn't your deal, try another sweet and acidic juice. I also love pineapple juice with coffee.
