The Festive Drinks Edit: 4 Recipes to Sip This Season

The Festive Drinks Edit: 4 Recipes to Sip This Season


Bring a little festive inspiration to your seasonal menu with four creative drink recipes designed for cafés and coffee shops. From indulgent boozy hot chocolate to marzipan-inspired matcha and warming spiced chai, discover flavour combinations that offer something different for your customers and help make your Christmas drinks menu stand out.

01. Boozy Orange Choc

A festive twist on a timeless flavour pairing. Rich, indulgent chocolate meets the bright, zesty notes of orange liqueur to create a warming seasonal serve with a little extra spirit. A great addition to an adult-focused festive menu, with the option to offer an alcohol-free alternative using orange syrup or extract.

Ingredients

22g Dark Choc
8oz milk (or alternative milk)
25–50ml Orange Liqueur
Fresh orange zest, to finish

Method

1. Steam
Steam the chocolate and milk together until smooth, silky and fully combined.

2. Pour
Add the Orange Liqueur to your cup, then pour over the hot chocolate.

3. Finish
Grate fresh orange zest over the top using a microplane for a fragrant, citrusy finish.

Please drink responsibly.

02. Marzipan Matcha

Give your seasonal matcha menu a festive makeover with this marzipan-inspired creation. Earthy Japanese green tea meets sweet almond, reminiscent of traditional stollen and Christmas marzipan. Finished with a generous layer of almond cold foam, it's an indulgent iced matcha that offers customers something a little different this season.

Ingredients

3g Wakaba (or 8g Japanese Matcha)
8oz milk (or alternative milk)
Ice
Almond Cold Foam
Cinnamon, for dusting (optional)

Almond Cold Foam

Ingredients
250ml cream
20g Almond Syrup

Method
Whip the cream and Almond Syrup together until thick but still pourable. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Method

1. Whisk
Sift your matcha into a bowl and whisk with a splash of warm (not boiling) water using a bamboo whisk until smooth and frothy.

2. Pour
Fill a glass with ice, add your milk and pour over the prepared matcha.

3. Top
Spoon generously with your Almond Cold Foam.

4. Finish
Add a light dusting of cinnamon for a festive finishing touch.

03. Pink Chai Russian

Put a seasonal spin on a cocktail classic with this striking pink creation. Our Pink Chai brings earthy beetroot and warming spices together with smooth vanilla vodka for a sweet, spiced serve with plenty of visual appeal. An interesting addition to festive drinks menus, this recipe makes two cocktails and is ideal for sharing.

Ingredients

11g Pink Chai
8oz milk
50ml Vanilla Vodka
Ice

Method

1. Mix
Very gently steam the Pink Chai and milk together, just enough to dissolve the powder and create a little texture without heating the milk too much.

2. Add
Stir through the Vanilla Vodka until evenly combined.

3. Serve
Fill two glasses with ice and divide the Pink Chai mixture between them.

Please drink responsibly.

04. Fireside Choc

Bring a little fireside nostalgia to your winter menu. Rich, indulgent chocolate combines with fragrant Masala Chai to create a warming, spiced hot chocolate, finished with a toasted marshmallow. A versatile seasonal special that can appeal to all ages, making it a welcome addition to any café's festive offering.

Ingredients

10g Original Chocolate (or House Choc)
5g Masala Chai (or House Chai)
8oz milk (or alternative milk)
Toasted marshmallow, to finish
Cinnamon or chocolate powder, for dusting (optional)

Method

1. Steam
Steam the chocolate, chai and milk together until smooth, creamy and fully combined.

2. Top
Pour into your favourite mug and finish with a toasted marshmallow.

3. Finish
Add a light dusting of cinnamon or chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.

Take care when toasting marshmallows, and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
