Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Colombian coffee: Provides the main coffee flavor and bitterness that the cream and sugar soften.
Whipping cream: Adds fat for a rich, smooth, creamy texture and mellows the coffee's bitterness.
Powdered sugar: Adds sweetness and dissolves easily into the cold coffee and cream mixture.
Coffee ice cubes: Chill the drink without diluting it, since they are made from coffee rather than water.
