Flat red

A flat 'red' is a coffee drink consisting of espresso and steamed orange and pomegranate juice. The hot beverage combines the intensity of coffee with the refreshing acidity of citrus and pomegranate notes, producing a balanced flavor profile and a distinctive aroma. It contains no added sugar and no milk.
The flat red was created in 2016 by the award-winning Ukrainian barista and founder Vadym Granovskiy in Kyiv.

Description

Orange and pomegranate are freshly pressed, filtered to remove pulp, and blended. The juice mix is heated to approximately 55 °C and steamed in the same manner as milk for espresso-based drinks. About 110 ml of the juice mix is added to a freshly brewed double espresso, resulting in a beverage with a total volume of around 160 ml. The flat red is served in a glass.
