You’ll need…

Pumpkin spice is the unsung hero of this delightful concoction.

For the coffee you’ll need…

As I experimented with various ingredients, the addition of Irish Crème proved to be the secret weapon that elevated this recipe to a new level of indulgence. The creamy texture and subtle sweetness of Irish Crème blend seamlessly with the boldness of the coffee, creating a velvety potion that’s both comforting and sophisticated. It’s the kind of drink that makes you pause, savoring each sip as the flavors unfold on your palate.
Top it off with…
