A festive and refreshing cold brew coffee drink topped with rich cocoa foam and a sticky caramel drizzle, perfect for Halloween or any cozy night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew concentrate
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or milk alternative (whole milk, almond, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cocoa Foam: In a small bowl or blender, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk or milk alternative, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using). Blend or froth vigorously for 1-2 minutes until thick and velvety. The foam should hold soft peaks and have a rich chocolate aroma.
  2. Assemble the Cold Brew: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup/240 ml). Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew concentrate over the ice. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk or milk alternative and stir gently to combine.
  3. Top with Cocoa Foam: Spoon the cocoa foam carefully over the cold brew mixture. It should float on top, creating a layered effect that looks spooky and inviting.
  4. Drizzle with Caramel: Using a spoon, drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce over the cocoa foam. Let it cascade naturally for a sticky, sweet finish. If you want, add a dollop of whipped cream before the drizzle for extra indulgence.
  5. Serve Immediately: Insert a straw or stirrer and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use cold brew concentrate for a smooth, less acidic taste. Warm caramel sauce slightly if too thick for easier drizzling. If foam is too thin, add more cocoa powder or reduce milk. Avoid sweetened cocoa powder to maintain foam texture and flavor balance. The drink is best served immediately for freshest foam and flavor.
