Chill out with Iced Mexican Coffee—a bold, refreshing twist on your everyday iced coffee. Infused with warming cinnamon, a touch of vanilla, and a hint of cayenne for subtle heat, each sip is creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet. Topped with a luscious cloud of whipped cream and a shower of chocolate, it’s an easy homemade pick-me-up with irresistible flair.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Coffee Base

  • 1 cup brewed coffee, strong and bold
  • Ice cubes

Milk & Sweetener

  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)

Flavorings

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Brew the Coffee: Prepare a strong cup of coffee using your preferred brewing method. For best results, use freshly ground beans. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to chill faster.
  2. Mix the Magic: In a large glass or shaker, combine the cooled coffee, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cayenne pepper if you like some heat. Stir or shake until the sugar and spices dissolve fully and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Ice, Ice, Baby: Fill a tall glass generously with ice cubes. Slowly pour the coffee mixture over the ice to chill it instantly and keep it cool.
  4. Top It Off: For an extra treat, generously dollop whipped cream on top of the coffee. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a festive, café-style finish.
  5. Sip & Enjoy: Give your drink a gentle stir to mix the layers, then sip and savor the delightful fusion of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar and spices to taste—start with the recipe, then customize your cup.
  • For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • Chilling your glass beforehand helps keep your drink colder longer.
  • Add a splash of Kahlúa or coffee liqueur for an adult twist.
  • Double or triple the recipe for a crowd—just mix everything in a pitcher ahead of time.
