Cappuccello (iced coffee drink with lemon juice)

“Cappuccello” is the invention of the “Tipsy Texan,” Austin’s David Alan. The drink premiered at the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market coffee stand in the summer of 2008. Cappuccello (the name borrows from “cappuccino”) is an iced coffee infused with lemon juice and lemon agave nectar.
   
Alan credits bartender Bobby Huegel’s lemon coffee drink at Beaver’s in Houston, but lemon coffee drinks have been served at other places as well.

Starting this summer, we have been doing a drink at our Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market coffee stand every saturday called Cappuccello. It consists of cold-brewed coffee concentrate (the base for the best iced coffees) shaken vigorously with lemon juice and lemon-infused agave nectar. The result is a refreshing coffee “mocktail” with a frothy head and a slightly sweet lemony zing.
 
I am glad Texans are finally warming up (oh my that’s a bad pun) to iced coffee—keep spreading the good word!

Katz’s stand at Sunset Valley Farmers’ Market
David Alan, aka the Tipsy Texan, is also a coffee dealer for the Houston-based Katz’s Coffee (no relation to the West Sixth Street deli) and a master mixologist. He put a twist on a lemon coffee drink by bartender Bobby Huegel of Beaver’s in Houston and named it the cappuccello. Keep your mind open here; it’s cold-brewed coffee concentrate, lemon juice and lemon agave nectar, shaken to a frothy head. Its unique taste and texture make it a hit at the Sunset Valley Farmers’ Market. 3200 Jones Road (Burger Center’s northeast parking lot), 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

Iced Coffee in the Am-Stat
Today there is a cover story about iced coffee in the Austin American Statesman’s food section. I guess my years of evangelizing about the merits of cold coffee have finally paid off, since the Statesman’s Addie Broyles ran a picture and blurb about the Cappuccello that we serve at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday’s. I’m glad they properly attributed the origin of the drink to my friend Bobby Heugel of DrinkDogma.com.
