Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 shots of fresh espresso
  • 8 oz milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

Flavorings

  • 2 tbsp strawberry syrup
  • 1 tbsp white chocolate sauce
  • Pink food coloring (optional, a few drops)

Toppings

  • Whipped cream topping (to taste)
  • Pink sugar crystals (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh strawberry slices (optional, for garnish)
  • White chocolate drizzle or curls (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Espresso Shots: Start by pulling 1 to 2 shots of fresh espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set the rich, aromatic coffee aside while you prepare the rest.
  2. Steam and Flavor the Milk: Steam your milk of choice until warm and frothy. While steaming, stir in the strawberry syrup, white chocolate sauce, and pink food coloring if using, allowing the flavors to blend and the pink hue to develop.
  3. Combine Ingredients in a Glass: Pour the flavored steamed milk into a clear glass or cup. Slowly add the espresso shots on top, allowing the layers to form the classic macchiato effect with creamy milk below and bold coffee streaks above.
  4. Add Whipped Cream and Garnish: Top your drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Optionally, add a sprinkle of pink sugar crystals, fresh strawberry slices on the rim, or a drizzle of white chocolate for extra flair and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh espresso shots for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Do not overheat milk; keep it under 150°F to preserve sweetness and texture.
  • Pour espresso slowly over the milk to create distinct layers.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to balance sweetness and color vibrancy.
  • Serve in a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers and pink hue.
