Iced Sugar Cookie Latte Recipe

Want to make an Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte at home? This easy holiday coffee drink comes together with brewed espresso, almond milk, ice, and a sugar cookie flavored syrup. It has the cozy flavor of a frosted sugar cookie in a refreshing iced latte, and you can adjust the sweetness to match your taste. If you want a stronger sugar cookie flavor, simply add a little more syrup.

This homemade iced latte is a simple way to enjoy a coffee shop-inspired holiday drink without leaving the house. It is especially helpful when you want to save money, skip the drive-through line, or customize your drink exactly the way you like it. You only need a few ingredients, and the recipe takes about five minutes from start to finish.

The best part about this iced sugar cookie latte recipe is how flexible it is. Almond milk gives it a light, nutty flavor, but oat milk also works well if you prefer a creamier texture. Regular milk can be used too. The espresso adds bold coffee flavor, while the sugar cookie syrup brings in the sweet vanilla-cookie taste that makes this drink feel festive.

If you enjoy making your favorite lattes at home, this recipe is a great one to keep in your holiday drink rotation. It is quick enough for busy mornings, but it also feels special enough for an afternoon treat. Add red and green sprinkles on top for a fun seasonal finish.

What Other Holiday Drinks Does Starbucks Have?

Some popular holiday drinks to order at Starbucks include Iced Peppermint Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, and Iced Shaken Espresso. A simple way to customize an iced shaken espresso is to add sugar cookie syrup to it. Cookie syrup can usually be added to many different drinks, which makes it easy to create a flavor combination that fits your preference.

At home, you can use the same idea. Start with espresso and milk, then adjust the syrup depending on how sweet or cookie-flavored you want your latte to be. This makes the drink easy to personalize without needing a long coffee order.

What Ingredients Do I Need?

• Brewed Espresso – You will need 2 shots of brewed espresso. Blonde roast espresso works especially well because it has a smooth flavor.
• Almond Milk – Almond milk keeps this iced latte light and dairy-free. Oat milk is another good option if you want a creamier drink. Regular milk can also be used if that is what you have on hand.
• Flavored Syrup – Use any sugar cookie flavored syrup made for coffee. A cupcake flavored syrup can also give a similar sweet cookie flavor. During the holiday season, a frosted sugar cookie coffee creamer may be used as another option.
• Ice – Ice keeps the latte cold and refreshing.
• Sprinkles – Red and green sprinkles add a festive holiday touch.
• See the recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and measurements.

Once you have the basic ingredients, this iced sugar cookie almond milk latte is very easy to make. Brew the espresso, pour it over ice and syrup, add almond milk, and shake or stir until combined.

Having the Perfect Coffee Bar at Home

Keeping a few coffee basics on hand makes it much easier to prepare café-style drinks at home. An espresso machine is helpful for brewing strong coffee drinks like lattes, shaken espresso, and iced coffee recipes. If your machine has both single and double shot options, use the double shot setting for this recipe.

Flavored coffee syrups are also useful if you enjoy making seasonal drinks. Sugar cookie syrup is the key ingredient in this latte, but other flavors can be used for different homemade coffee drinks. Pumps can make flavored syrups easier to measure and pour, especially if you make lattes often.

Fun glasses can make a homemade drink feel more special. A tall glass with a lid works well for shaking the latte together, but any glass large enough for ice, espresso, syrup, and milk will work.
