When you imagine the smells and tastes of autumn, what do you think of? Do you think of a nice and warm pumpkin spice latte? Maybe a perfectly sweet but tart apple cider? Whatever it may be, we are welcoming all familiar and new flavor combinations this year for our fall drink recommendations.
We know that it can be difficult to formulate a seasonal menu for your coffee shop that caters to both your own preferences as well as your customers. As much as we love a classic pumpkin flavored coffee, we would love to introduce you to some of our favorite unique and delicious fall beverages that will make your shop stand out from the rest.
Turtle Cappuccino
Are you looking to serve a warm and cozy beverage that maintains a fall feel but doesn’t include the obvious pumpkin sauces and flavorings? We invite you to add a Turtle Cappuccino to your fall lineup. It gives a great balance of nutty and sweet flavors that will keep customers coming back for more.
To make a Turtle Cappuccino (20 oz Drink), you will need the following ingredients:
-
¾ oz Monin Caramel Sauce
-
¾ oz Monin Dark Chocolate Sauce
-
½ oz Monin Macadamia Nut Syrup
-
3 oz Espresso
-
Fill With Steamed Milk
Cinnamon Fluff Cocoa
A perfect non-caffeinated option for fall is a rich Cinnamon Fluff Cocoa. This is a great option for kiddos, your regular decaf customers, or individuals looking to expand their ordering habits. The dreamy toasted marshmallow flavor pairs beautifully with the cinnamon and dark chocolate, making it the perfect drink for a breezy autumn afternoon.
You can create this tasty Cinnamon Fluff Cocoa (14 oz) with the following ingredients:
-
½ oz Monin Cinnamon Syrup
-
¼ oz Monin Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
-
1 ¼ oz Monin Dark Chocolate Sauce
-
10 oz Hot Milk of Your Choice
Caramel Apple Lotus
We of course cannot forget about all of the energy drink lovers out there. Just because they prefer fruity drinks all year round does not mean that they don’t deserve their own fun fall drink. Our favorite fall energy drink is a Caramel Apple Lotus. We tend to like the flavor that the lotus energy concentrates give to this drink, but it can absolutely be made with a red bull instead!
Here is what you will need to make a Caramel Apple Lotus (20 oz) drink:
-
1 oz Monin Granny Smith Apple Syrup
-
1.5 oz White Lotus Energy Concentrate
-
Club Soda
-
Monin Caramel Sauce to Drizzle Around the Cup
