3 Spooky Coffee Recipes to Try This Halloween

Halloween isn't just about costumes, candy, and scary movies. It's also the perfect excuse to get creative with your coffee.

Whether you're hosting a Halloween party, enjoying a cozy night in, or just looking to switch up your morning brew, these three Halloween coffee recipes bring a little extra fun to your cup.

From a boozy espresso float to a classic pumpkin spice latte and a vibrant purple ube creation, there's something for every coffee lover.

1. Scary Spiked Espresso Float

Rich espresso, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a splash of coffee liqueur come together in this indulgent Halloween treat. It's part dessert, part coffee cocktail, and dangerously delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 shot of espresso made with our Organic Espresso Blend
• 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
• 1 oz coffee liqueur
• A splash of simple syrup (optional)
• Your favourite soda, such as cola or cream soda

Instructions

1. Brew a fresh shot of espresso and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to a tall glass.
3. Pour the espresso and coffee liqueur over the ice cream.
4. Slowly top with your favourite soda, leaving room for the foam.
5. Add a little simple syrup if you'd like it sweeter, and enjoy!

Make it your own: Skip the coffee liqueur for an alcohol-free version that's just as delicious.

2. Pumpkin Spice, Don't Be Nice Latte

Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin spice. This Halloween twist on the classic pumpkin spice latte combines warm spices, rich espresso, and creamy steamed milk for the ultimate cozy coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 shots of espresso made with our Organic Espresso Blend
• 1 tbsp pumpkin spice syrup
• 1 tbsp caramel syrup
• ¾ cup steamed milk of your choice
• A pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for garnish

Instructions

1. Brew two fresh shots of espresso into your favourite mug.
2. Stir in the pumpkin spice and caramel syrups.
3. Steam your milk until warm and creamy.
4. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the espresso mixture.
5. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or some spooky latte art.

Make it your own: Try oat milk for a creamy dairy-free alternative, or serve it over ice if you prefer your Halloween coffee chilled.

3. Alien Ube Coffee Latte

Looking for something a little different? This vibrant purple coffee creation is a Halloween showstopper. Made with purple sweet potato, honey, milk, and espresso, it's naturally colourful, slightly sweet, and surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients

• 2 oz purple sweet potato or ube
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp cold milk
• ½ cup hot milk
• 1 shot of espresso

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Bake the purple sweet potato for approximately 45 minutes, or until tender.
2. Allow it to cool slightly, then blend with honey and cold milk until smooth.
3. Add a little extra milk if needed to create a creamy, pourable consistency.
4. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the purple mixture into your favourite mug.
5. Pour in the hot milk, followed by a freshly brewed shot of espresso.
6. Stir or froth gently until everything is combined.

Make it your own: Serve in a clear glass to show off the purple colour, or add a little extra honey for a sweeter treat.
