If you’re like us, you’re starting to get more creative with your drink recipes at home. That means coming up with substitutes for ingredients you don’t have or can’t find. This inspired our favorite education team duo, John and Marklyn to create a few quarantine beer cocktails. These recipes use common ingredients most everyone should have on hand.
Frangelic Mountain Brown Whipped Coffee
- 2 tablespoons of instant coffee – we used instant coffee from Ferris Coffee
- 2 tablespoons of boiling water
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 bottle of Frangelic Mountain Brown or any other coffee-based beer of your choice
Mix the coffee, water and sugar with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until you get peanut butter consistency and set aside. Pour your beer into a glass but leave plenty of room at the top of your glass, dollop the coffee mixture right on top of your beer and enjoy!

- couple ounces of Más Agave (the neck of the bottle)
