Ingredients

Scale

Cold Brew Coffee Base

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee (smooth, bold brew)

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Drink Mix

  • 1/4 cup milk or creamer (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1–2 tsp pumpkin spice syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin puree (optional, for richer texture)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • Ice cubes, as needed

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for sprinkling
  • Whipped cream
  • Cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Brew or Purchase Quality Cold Brew: Start with a smooth cold brew coffee. You can make your own by steeping coarse coffee grounds in cold water for 12 to 24 hours or use a high-quality store-bought cold brew for convenience.
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Syrup: Combine water, sugar, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a saucepan. Simmer gently while stirring until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
  3. Mix the Drink: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in the cold brew coffee, then add the pumpkin spice syrup and milk or creamer. Stir gently to blend all the flavors while maintaining the cold brew’s rich texture. Optionally, add an extra teaspoon of pumpkin puree or sweetener if desired.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top. For extra flair, add a swirl of whipped cream or a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of fall flavors and refreshing cold coffee.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the best flavor quality.
  • Choose a slightly stronger cold brew than usual as milk and syrup dilute the coffee’s intensity.
  • Start with less syrup and adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overpowering the coffee’s natural taste.
  • Keep milk and syrup refrigerated before mixing to maintain a cold, refreshing drink.
  • Pour syrup first, followed by cold brew and milk, to create a beautiful layered presentation.
