Halloween isn’t just about spooky costumes and trick-or-treating; it’s also a great excuse to whip up some delightful coffee creations that are just as fun as they are delicious. If you’re looking to brew up something special this October, here at Stokes Coffee, we have you covered. Here are five scarily scrumptious Halloween coffee ideas that will elevate your spooky season.
Witch’s Brew Pumpkin Spice Latte
Nothing says autumn quite like pumpkin spice. To make a witch’s brew version, start with a shot of your favourite espresso, then add steamed milk and a generous helping of pumpkin puree or pumpkin spiced syrup. Spice things up with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Top it off with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed gingerbread cookies for a magical finish. This bewitching blend will have you feeling enchanted all season long!
Ghostly White Chocolate Mocha
For those who prefer something a little sweeter, a ghostly white chocolate mocha is the perfect treat. Combine equal parts espresso and steamed milk with a rich white chocolate sauce. To add a spooky touch, swirl in a bit of vanilla syrup for flavour. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle some chocolate syrup on top. Add edible glitter for an extra ghostly effect—after all, what’s Halloween without a little sparkle?
Creepy Crawly Cold Brew
If you’re after something chilled, why not try a creepy crawly cold brew? Begin with a strong cold brew coffee and pour it over ice; for a Halloween twist, mix in a splash of almond milk and a dash of cinnamon. Then, to really amp up the fright factor, top it off with gummy worms or spider-shaped candies. It’s a fun way to enjoy your coffee while getting into the Halloween spirit.
Monster Mash Affogato
This Italian dessert meets Halloween drink is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Start with a scoop of vanilla or pumpkin spice ice cream in a glass. Then, pour a shot of freshly brewed espresso over the top. The hot coffee will melt the ice cream, creating a deliciously creamy concoction. For a playful Halloween touch, add crushed Oreos for "dirt" and some googly-eye candy on top. It’s a perfect monster mash that’s equal parts scary and scrumptious.
Frankenstein’s Mint Mocha
Bring a touch of green to your Halloween festivities with Frankenstein’s mint mocha. Start by brewing a rich espresso and mix it with steamed milk and peppermint syrup. For a unique twist, add a bit of green food colouring to make it extra spooky. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed candy canes, and perhaps a few chocolate chips for added texture. This minty creation will be a refreshing treat that’s sure to impress!
