A Bronx Bomber is a coffee cocktail drink made with espresso, gin, and absinthe. It gets its name from the New York Yankees baseball team, nicknamed the Bronx Bombers. The article recommends using organic coffee to make the drink, as organic coffee avoids potential contaminants from pesticides and chemicals used in commercial coffee growing. It also describes how the recent poor performance of the Yankees baseball team motivated the creation of this drink named in their honor.

No. We are not asking about
Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Joe
DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig or Babe
Ruth.

The Bronx Bomber we refer to is
a coffee drink with alcohol. The
Bronx Bomber is a summer drink
but you will be forgiven if you
make it in the depths of winter.

Our preference is to make Bronx
Bomber coffee with healthy
organic coffee and all organic
ingredients. So, what is a Bronx
Bomber?

Why Organic Coffee?

7. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-

You can make this drink with
regular coffee but we prefer
organic. Healthy organic coffee
has been around for a long, long
time.

8. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
Unfortunately in the modern era
the use of pesticides and
herbicides has entered the
picture in growing many crops,
including otherwise healthy
organic coffee.

Although non-organic
contaminants do not necessarily
reduce the beneficial health
effects of a healthy cup of
organic coffee the non-organic
contaminants cause problems of
their own.

10. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
A study by the Australian Food
Standards Authority revealed that
as many as 133 contaminants
may be in a cup of commercially
available coffee.

11. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
These contaminants include
metals such as aluminum and
zinc, pesticide residues,
ochratoxin A, acrylamide, furan,
and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons.

12. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
Some polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons are found to cause
cancer. Furans have been
associated with skin disorders, liver
problems, certain kinds of cancers,
impairment to the reproductive,
endocrine, and immune system, as
well as effects on embryonic
development.

13. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-

And organic coffee is good for
the environment. Organic
certified coffees are grown to
reduce and prevent soil erosion.

14. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
Growers use only natural
fertilizer and avoid chemical use.

15. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
They follow good farming
practices including integrated
pest management, avoid
deforestation, and protect water
sources, native and endangered
species and use native fauna for
shade grown coffee.

Why Would a Bronx Bomber
Drink Bronx Bomber Coffee?

17. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
The last two years were not kind
to the Bronx Bombers.

18. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
The Yankees failed to make the
playoffs for the second straight
year shortstop and backbone of
the team, Derek Jeter retired.

19. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
This was year after star reliever
Mariano Rivera hung up his
glove. Bronx Bombers and Bronx
Bomber fans may be forgiven for
wanting to imbibe an alcoholic
drink to help forget the 2015
season.

20. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
However, the Bronx Bomber
drink contains espresso! So, that
will hopefully give the New York
Yankees the wakeup that they
need to get back on top.

21. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
Spring training starts in February
and the first game against the
Phillies is March 3 in Clearwater,
Florida.

22. http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1331/what-is-
a-bronx-bomber/
So, pack up your cocktail shaker,
absinthe, gin and Colombian
organic coffee and buy your ice
in Florida just before the first
game. Come cheer for the Bronx
Bombers and enjoy a Bronx
Bomber or two in honor of the
home team!
