It's the summer and what is better when the sun is high than to enjoy a nice iced coffee? To offer you a different and refreshing tasting experience, we asked our ambassador, chef Marc-André Royal, to come up with three original - and really amazing - iced coffee recipes.

Here are the recipes:

"Cream soda" iced coffee

 Ingredients

• 1 scoop of coffee ice cream
• 1 Van Houtte espresso
• 1 ounce of rum
• 1/4 cup of club soda

Preparation 

Put your glass in the freezer.

Rim glass with espresso and dip in the crushed chocolate covered coffee beans.  

Put a large scoop of ice cream in your glass.

Add the rum, espresso and cream soda.
