Five creative ways to have your coffee

The New Black's homage to the kopitiam staple is a rounded drink of condensed milk and Sweet Bloom's Hometown blend, whisked into a velvety texture in a cocktail shaker.

A quip from a customer that Dapper's coffees are like liquid gold gave head chef Christine Seah inspiration to create this mesmerising drink. It looks unctuous in its 220-millilitre bottle, and the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe cold brew is sprightly and refreshing.

RONIN's holiday-in-a-brew stretches Melbourne-roasted Genovese coffee with a dusting of chocolate, peppermint extract and milk.

The lactose intolerant can breathe a sigh of relief – this cold brew gets its hue and nutty sweetness from macadamias, almonds and dates.

On a post-binge alcohol fast? 'Cheat' on it with a creamy nitrogen-boosted cold brew. Each batch is a steep of different seasonal roasts or single-origins, leaving you charged with energy to exercise away the Christmas calories.
