Today, we’re sharing a delightful recipe for a Christmas-themed nitro cold brew, complete with festive cold foam toppings that will wow your guests (or just make your mornings merrier)!
Ingredients
For the Nitro Cold Brew:
• 12 oz Nitro cold brew coffee from your NitroTapp mini keg
• 1 tsp vanilla syrup (optional)
• 1-2 oz peppermint syrup (for a holiday twist)
For the Festive Cold Foam:
• 1/3 cup cold heavy cream
• 2 tbsp milk (any kind, but whole milk works best)
• 1 tsp sugar or simple syrup
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• Red and green food coloring (optional)
Toppings:
• Crushed candy canes
• Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
• Holiday-themed sprinkles
Instructions
1. Pour the Nitro Cold Brew
Dispense 12 oz of cold brew coffee from your NitroTapp mini keg into a tall glass. Add vanilla or peppermint syrup if desired, and stir gently.
2. Prepare the Cold Foam
• In a frother or a small bowl, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and peppermint extract.
• Froth until the mixture becomes light and airy, forming soft peaks. If you don’t have a frother, use a hand whisk or shake the mixture in a sealed jar until foamy.
3. Add Festive Colors
Divide the foam into two bowls. Add a drop of red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other. Stir gently to mix. If you prefer a natural look, skip the coloring and keep the foam white.
4. Assemble the Drink
• Spoon or gently pour the cold foam over the nitro cold brew. Layer the red and green foam for a festive touch or swirl them together for a marbled effect.
5. Top it Off
Sprinkle crushed candy canes, chocolate shavings, or holiday sprinkles on top of the foam for extra holiday flair.
Tips for a Perfect Nitro Christmas Cold Brew
• Use chilled glasses for an even frostier experience.
• Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less syrup.
• Experiment with different toppings like edible glitter or coconut flakes to create a wintery “snow” effect.
This Christmas-themed nitro cold brew is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a visual delight, making it perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy mornings by the tree. With the NitroTapp mini keg, creating café-quality drinks at home has never been easier. Cheers!
