What You Will Need
To whip up this Gluten-Free Strawberry Cold Foam Iced Coffee, grab these ingredients:
- Cold brew coffee (1 cup): The bold, smooth base for your drink.
- Heavy cream (½ cup): Creates that rich, frothy cold foam.
- Mozart Strawberry White Chocolate Liqueur (2 tablespoons): Adds a sweet, boozy strawberry twist.
- Red food coloring (1 drop): Gives the foam a pretty pink hue.
- Ice: Keeps your coffee chilled and refreshing.
- Fresh strawberry (optional, for garnish): Adds a cute, fresh touch.
You’ll also need a mixing bowl, a milk frother or whisk for the foam, and a tall glass for serving. A spoon is handy for adding the foam, and a straw makes sipping extra fun. With these basics, you’re all set to create a Starbucks-inspired coffee with a boozy flair.
Tips and Variations
First off, chill your mixing bowl in the fridge for 5 minutes before whipping the cream—it’ll froth up faster. Also, add the food coloring sparingly to avoid an overly bright foam; one drop is usually perfect. When frothing, stop once you get soft peaks to keep the foam light and spoonable. And don’t skip filling the glass with ice—it keeps the coffee cold and refreshing.
Want to mix things up? Try some fun variations. For example, swap the strawberry liqueur for a raspberry or vanilla liqueur for a different flavor vibe. If you’re going non-alcoholic, use strawberry syrup or puree instead of the liqueur. Alternatively, try coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free, vegan version. To make it extra fancy, dust the foam with a pinch of edible glitter or crushed freeze-dried strawberries. With these tweaks, you can customize this coffee for any mood or occasion.
