Ingredients
  

Coffee Base
  • 4 cups dark roast coffee or espresso freshly brewed, hot or cold
  • 1 stick cinnamon optional, for steeping
Flavor Mix-ins
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin spice syrup homemade or store-bought
  • 1/4 cup salted caramel syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or hazelnut syrup optional
Creamy Toppings
  • 1 cup whipped cream regular, dairy-free, or flavored
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff or spooky marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup flavored coffee creamer pumpkin, vanilla, etc. (optional)
Garnishes
  • 2 tbsp Halloween sprinkles or edible glitter
  • 1/4 cup crushed Oreos or graham cracker dust
  • 2 tbsp mini candy eyeballs
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder optional, for dusting
Optional Add-Ins
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or butterscotch bits
  • 4 pieces cinnamon sticks as eco-stirrers

Method
 

  1. Brew the Coffee or Espresso: Prepare a strong batch of dark roast coffee or espresso. Chill for 2–4 hours if serving iced.
  2. Prep the Flavor Station: Arrange syrup bottles or carafes with labels. Warm homemade blends slightly if needed.
  3. Create the Topping Zone: Place toppings in labeled jars or bowls. Refrigerate dairy-based items until ready to serve.
  4. Add Fun Signage & Decor: Use Halloween-themed signs, candles, or props to enhance the vibe.
  5. Serve & Customize: Let guests fill mugs with coffee, syrups, toppings, and stirrers. Offer hot and cold options.
  6. Bonus: Host a ‘Barista Challenge’ where guests create their own spooky drink combos.

Notes

Prep your coffee and syrups a day in advance to save time. Offer allergy-friendly options like oat milk and dairy-free whipped cream. Use decorative jars and signage to boost the Halloween theme. For a keto option, use sugar-free syrups and skip marshmallows. For kids, provide hot cocoa or chocolate milk with the same toppings.
