Hello again Cafe people.

In my ongoing personal crusade to come up with the best possible, high margin delicious drinks for our Alchemy Coffee syrup customers to offer, I do come across some very interesting options.

One, which came from a delicious lunch I had a Wilson’s Boathouse at Manly, is The Affogato.

This fantastic espresso based drink/dessert should become a summer staple in all good cafes.

The key to the appeal of the affogato is in the presentation.

You will need.

2 x shot glasses.

1 x Latte glass.

The method is really simple.

make a single shot of espresso, and serve it in one of the shot glasses (30 ml).

fill the second shot glass with the customers choice of Alchemy Coffee Syrup.

Put a scoop of Good quality vanilla ice cream ( I prefer Sara Lee), into the latte glass.

Deliver the 2 shot glasses, plus the latte glass to your customers table, and let them make their own affogato by combining everything into the latte glass. Make sure you provide a teaspoon for stirring and spooning out icecream. The blend of hot espresso, cold icecream and delicious Alchemy syrup will make for a really memorable experience for your customers.

The Affogato will be a sure fire hit after meals as a replacement dessert, and you can easily sell it for a high margin (say $2 or $3 more than a normal coffee).

For more info on Affogatos, or other summer syrup based cafe drink offerings, just drop me an email.
