Peppermint Pie Piccolo

This peppermint pie piccolo is peppermint cold brew and milk over ice, with soft vanilla cream on top. Stir 2 oz of Frothy Coffee Concentrate with a tablespoon of our Peppermint Coffee Syrup and an equal pour of milk, which keeps the drink short and strong. Pour it over ice in a rocks glass, then spoon on vanilla cream shaken just to soft peaks, and it mixes in as you sip.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Fill a rocks glass with ice.
  2. Stir the Frothy Coffee Concentrate, milk and peppermint syrup together in a separate glass, then pour over the ice.
  3. Shake the heavy cream and vanilla syrup in a sealed jar just until it holds soft peaks, then spoon it on top.
  4. Finish with crushed peppermint or a mini candy cane.

Barista Tips

Why is this stronger than regular cold brew?

Frothy Coffee Concentrate is usually mixed 1 part concentrate to 4 parts water or milk. Here it goes 1 to 1 with milk, which is what makes it a piccolo: a small drink with a lot of coffee in it.

What are soft peaks?

The cream has thickened enough to hold a shape, but the tip flops over when you lift the spoon out. Stop shaking there. Stiffer cream sits on the drink like a lid instead of mixing in as you sip.

Why mix it in a separate glass first?

Syrup poured straight onto ice gets cold and thick before it can mix, and it ends up at the bottom of the glass. Stirring the concentrate, milk, and syrup together first means every sip tastes the same.

Frothy Coffee Concentrate$27.00

Frothy Coffee Concentrate is slow brewed for 24 hours and has two ingredients, coffee and filtered water. Most drinks call for 1 part concentrate to 4 parts water or milk. This one goes 1 to 1 with milk, so the drink stays short and rich and you still taste the coffee under the peppermint.

Peppermint Coffee Syrup

Our Peppermint Coffee Syrup is made in Nashville with real peppermint and cane sugar. A full tablespoon goes straight into the coffee and milk, which is plenty for a drink this small, and it's where the peppermint pie flavor comes from.

Vanilla Coffee Syrup

Vanilla Coffee Syrup$8.00

A teaspoon of our Vanilla Coffee Syrup, made in Nashville with real vanilla, sweetens the cream on top. Shaken just to soft peaks, it sits on the drink like the whipped topping on a slice of pie and softens the peppermint as it mixes in.
