Meal Prep and Storage

  • How to prep ahead of time: You can brew the coffee a day or two early, simply leave it in the fridge.
  • How to store: If you have any of this coffee-infused cocktail leftover, keep it in a jar with a tightly fitting lid, like a mason jar. Leave in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
