The coffee we recommend
Juan Valdez Colina Medium Roast
Colina is roasted and ground coffee—not instant coffee. Its smooth, balanced medium-roast character lets the orange shine while keeping the drink rich, fragrant, and distinctly Colombian.

Prep time: 5 minutes | Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Juan Valdez Colina ground coffee
- ½ cup hot water
- ½ cup chilled sparkling water
- 2 teaspoons panela or brown sugar, adjusted to taste
- Ice cubes
- 1 fresh orange
How to make it
- Brew the coffee. Use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee and ½ cup hot water in a drip coffee maker, pour-over, or French press. This recipe uses freshly brewed ground coffee; do not use instant coffee.
- Sweeten and cool. Stir the panela or brown sugar into the coffee while it is warm. Let the coffee cool for a few minutes.
- Build the drink. Fill a tall glass with ice, then add the chilled sparkling water.
- Create the layers. Slowly pour the brewed coffee over the ice. Pouring gently helps preserve the beautiful amber-to-espresso gradient.
- Finish with orange. Add a thin orange wheel. Twist a strip of orange peel over the glass to release its fragrant oils, then garnish, stir, and enjoy.
Coffee tip
Let the brewed coffee cool before adding it to the glass. This keeps the ice from melting too quickly and preserves the sparkling texture.
Why Colina works beautifully in this recipe
Medium-roast coffee provides enough body to stand up to sparkling water while remaining smooth enough for citrus. Juan Valdez Colina offers the approachable balance this drink needs: the coffee remains the star, while orange adds aroma and a clean, refreshing finish.
