Current techniques allow for a smooth finish from the get go, and since they are brewed cold, there isn't as much initial ice melt, which can water down your drink. There are tons of coffee creations you can sip over ice. Take advantage of what's left of the nice weather to sit outside and enjoy an iced coffee from one of these Denver area coffee shops.
