Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed coffee
- 2 oz Kahlua
- 1 oz pumpkin spice syrup
- Whipped cream for topping
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 2 cups of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Make sure the coffee is hot and fresh for the best flavor.
- While the coffee is brewing, gather all your ingredients: Kahlua, pumpkin spice syrup, whipped cream, and ground cinnamon.
- Once the coffee is ready, pour it into two coffee mugs, dividing it evenly between them.
- Add 2 oz of Kahlua to each mug. This will provide a rich, coffee liqueur flavor that complements the pumpkin spice.
- Next, add 1 oz of pumpkin spice syrup to each mug. Stir gently to combine the ingredients thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream. This adds a delightful creaminess and sweetness to the coffee.
- Finally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the whipped cream for a warm, aromatic finish. This enhances the pumpkin spice theme of the drink.
- Your Kahlua Pumpkin Spice Coffee is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and savor the delicious flavors.
Tips
- Coffee Quality Matters: Use freshly brewed, high-quality coffee as the foundation of your drink. Medium to dark roast works best for complementing the Kahlua and pumpkin spice flavors.
- Temperature is Key: Serve immediately after preparation to ensure the coffee is hot and the flavors are at their peak.
- Whipped Cream Hack: For an extra touch of luxury, try making your own homemade whipped cream instead of using store-bought.
- Garnish Creatively: Experiment with additional garnishes like a cinnamon stick, a light dusting of nutmeg, or even a drizzle of caramel for added complexity.
- Make it Festive: For holiday gatherings, you can easily scale up this recipe to serve a crowd by preparing it in a large batch.
- Non-Alcoholic Option: For a family-friendly version, replace Kahlua with coffee syrup or additional pumpkin spice syrup.
