August is National Coffee Month; National Coffee Day is September 26th, National Iced Coffee Day is May 25th, and International Coffee Day is October 1st. While most coffee drinkers can be convinced to upgrade their cup—to a cappuccino, for example—how about a coffee cocktail?

It’s easy to add a shot of your favorite spirit or liqueur to hot or iced coffee—and to get a can of Reddi Wip to top it. But how about a Tia Tonic?

The mixologists at coffee liqueur brand Tia Maria Cold Brew partnered with premium brand Q Tonic to create this refreshing cold brew cocktail.

Tia Maria is made with 100% Arabica coffee beans and Madagascar vanilla, and Q Mixers Tonic Water is made with extra carbonation, quinine and organic agave. (It’s our favorite for drinking straight quinine water.)
