How to make the Roman Holiday coffee cocktail

Welcome to the MF Products UK blog where we, enthusiasts of all things pertaining to food and drink, are here to talk about another coffee cocktail that can be made using our own MF Products. Today we will be discussing the ‘roman holiday’ cocktail which is an undated version on the original ‘Jungle Bird’. The roman holiday instead uses an Italian liqueur called Amaro Meletti which is often regarded as bittersweet. This liqueur used in the Roman holiday includes botanicals including anise, clove, gentian, orange peel, saffron and violet flower. Another liqueur added is Campari and it’s tinges of orange shine through the beverage to establish a pleasant yet alternative taste. After that, the ‘roman holiday consists of pineapple juice, lime juice, demerara syrup and cold-brew MF Coffee. The MF team don’t typically advise this, but we added a pinch of salt to allow the ingredients within the glass to pop out.
