How to Make S’mores Cold Brew

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Start by moistening the edge of your glass or mason jar. This helps the crushed graham crackers stick nicely! Simply dip the rim into a small bowl filled with crushed graham crackers; it adds that classic s’mores touch and makes your drink look extra special.

Step 2: Drizzle Chocolate Syrup

Next, drizzle some chocolate syrup into your glass. This adds a rich layer of flavor right from the start. Plus, it creates a beautiful visual effect when you pour in the coffee!

Step 3: Pour in Your Coffee

Now it’s time to pour in your cold brew or iced coffee. The bold flavors of cold brew work wonderfully here and make every sip rich and satisfying.

Step 4: Mix It Up

Add in your creamer and s’mores flavored syrup next. Take a long utensil and gently stir everything together. This step ensures all those delicious flavors meld perfectly!

Step 5: Add Ice

Feel free to add ice according to your preference. I love mine extra chilled, especially on warm days!

Step 6: Top with Marshmallows

Cover the top of your drink with vegan marshmallows for that iconic s’mores experience. If you’re feeling adventurous, lightly toast them using a culinary lighter until they are golden brown!

Step 7: Final Touches

Finish off by adding another drizzle of chocolate syrup on top before popping in a straw. And there you have it—a delicious S’mores Cold Brew ready to enjoy!

I hope you love making and sipping on this delightful drink as much as I do!

Pro Tips for Making S’mores Cold Brew

Creating the perfect S’mores Cold Brew is easy with a few helpful tips to elevate your drink!

• Use High-Quality Cold Brew: Opt for a well-brewed, bold cold brew coffee for a richer flavor. A high-quality coffee makes all the difference and ensures your drink tastes delightful.

• Experiment with Creamers: Try different types of plant-based creamers—like almond or oat milk—for varying flavors and textures. Each creamer can enhance the overall taste profile, making your beverage unique.

• Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of S’mores flavored syrup based on your sweetness preference. This allows you to make your drink as indulgent or as light as you like!

• Toast Marshmallows Carefully: If you choose to toast your vegan marshmallows, do it slowly to avoid burning. Toasting adds a nice caramelized flavor that complements the cold brew beautifully.

• Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This keeps your S’mores Cold Brew colder for longer!
