A cozy and refreshing fall coffee drink featuring cold brew coffee topped with a creamy pumpkin-spiced cold foam and sweetened with brown sugar syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold milk (whole milk recommended; oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves mix)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Let it cool.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Cold Foam: In a small bowl or frothing pitcher, combine ½ cup cold milk, 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree, and ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Froth using a milk frother or handheld electric whisk until thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, shake vigorously in a sealed jar for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee over the ice. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled brown sugar syrup and stir gently. Adjust syrup amount to taste.
  4. Add the Pumpkin Cold Foam: Spoon the creamy pumpkin foam over the coffee, allowing it to sit on top for a layered look. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the drink fresh for the best texture contrast between cold coffee and airy foam.

Notes

Use whole milk for best creamy foam; oat milk is best plant-based option for frothing. Avoid too much pumpkin puree to prevent watery foam. Brown sugar syrup must be fully dissolved and cooled to maintain foam texture. If no frother, shake milk mixture vigorously in a sealed jar. Serve immediately for best texture. Brown sugar syrup can be stored in fridge up to two weeks.
