A warm and comforting Spiked Pumpkin Spice Latte that combines rich espresso, homemade pumpkin spice syrup, and a splash of bourbon for a cozy fall-inspired cocktail perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (fresh grated if you can)

Latte

  • 2 oz espresso coffee
  • 1-2 oz pumpkin spice syrup (depending how sweet you like your coffee)
  • 1 1/2 oz bourbon
  • 1 cup steamed milk or coconut milk
  • Sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Pumpkin Spice Syrup: In a small pot, combine pumpkin puree, coconut palm sugar, water, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Cool and Strain: Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the syrup through a cheesecloth into a storage container to remove solids, then refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Brew the Coffee: Prepare 2 ounces of espresso or very strong coffee and pour it into a coffee mug.
  4. Mix the Drink: Add 1 to 2 ounces of the homemade pumpkin spice syrup and 1 1/2 ounces of bourbon to the mug with espresso. Stir well to combine.
  5. Froth and Heat the Milk: Warm and froth 1 cup of milk or coconut milk until creamy and hot.
  6. Combine and Garnish: Pour the steamed milk into the coffee mug, stir gently to blend all ingredients, then finish with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon on top.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of pumpkin spice syrup to taste, depending on desired sweetness and spice level.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the bourbon and add additional pumpkin spice syrup or a dash of vanilla extract.
  • Use fresh grated nutmeg for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Store the pumpkin spice syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Coconut milk can be used as a dairy-free alternative and adds a subtle tropical flavor.
