Nailed it or Failed it: Instant Coffee creations

We're trying three different recipes using instant coffee to see the best alternative to your usual cup of joe.

MOLINE, Ill — We tried two different instant coffee creations to see which one was the best alternative to the usual cup of brewed coffee. 

We tried instant coffee in a Greek "frappe", and the TikTok sensation "whipped coffee" that went viral last year at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

A Greek frappe includes instant coffee, water, and sugar in a shaker and pouring over ice and adding milk or water to your taste. 

The whipped coffee involves whisking or mixing instant coffee with water and sugar until it reaches stiff peaks and serving with milk. 

Which ones did we Nail? Which ones were a Fail?

In this week's cocktail of the week we paired Gellezig Brewery's Hazy IPA with Lemon-up Girl Scout Cookies and their Charles Thiggens Porter with Samoas or Tagalongs.
