Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cold brew coffee or cooled brewed espresso
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy: oat, almond, or coconut)

- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes
Optional Garnishes:
- Whipped cream
- Ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- Cinnamon stick
- Star anise (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a short or rocks glass with ice. Use clear ice for a clean, elegant look.
- Add the coffee: Pour in the cold brew or cooled espresso. For caffeine-free options, use decaf or a coffee substitute.
- Add pumpkin spice syrup: Stir in the pumpkin spice syrup until well combined.
- Pour the milk: Slowly pour the milk over the back of a spoon to create a layered, swirled effect.
- Garnish and serve: Top with whipped cream, dust with cinnamon, and add a cinnamon stick or star anise for a festive finish.
- Optional warm version: Gently heat the milk and coffee together with syrups and serve in a mug topped with whipped cream.
Notes
- Use chilled ingredients to prevent dilution.
- For a mocha twist, add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.
- Make it dairy-free using oat or coconut milk.
- Add maple syrup for a deeper, richer autumn flavor.
- Prepare ahead by mixing without ice and chilling until ready to serve.
