Last year I experience the Starbucks gingerbread latte for the first time. As much as I rag on their coffee I have to admit that they can come up with lattes and macchiatos that will knock your proverbial socks off. The gingerbread latte is one that I like a lot.
Thing is, I can’t get them anymore. They closed the Starbucks locally that was good and left the one where all the really lazy people work open. Not sure how that worked but it did. Anyway..I figured it was time to learn how to make my own copy cat gingerbread latte.
If you want to make this really easy start out with the JazzyBird Espresso.
Gingerbread Latte Recipe
- 2- 4 oz espresso shot
- 2 tbs Monin Gingerbread Syrup
- 1/2 cup of whole milk steamed and frothed
- 3- 4 tbs whipped cream
- 1 tbs candied ginger
- 2 tbs caramel sauce
- Fresh grated nutmeg
- A quick way to steam milk without a steamer is to heat it to a simmer on the stove (or in the microwave) and carefully blend it until it is frothy. Be careful though. It is very hot and if it flies out of the blender it will burn you.
- Add the espresso shot to a warmed coffee mug.
- Stir in the syrup
- Add the milk
- Put whipped cream on top, drizzle with caramel syrup, sprinkle with grated nutmeg and add the candied ginger
Serves 1

[...] And Cup Copy-Cat Gingerbread Latte Recipe Marye shares her recipe to make a drink that’s very similar to the Starbucks Gingerbread [...]
They just closed one of our starbucks too, though there were 3 within 5 miles of each other. I don’t have any jazzybird near me either.
This looks great! I’ll try making this at home instead of spending an arm and a leg at Starbucks. Thanks for the recipe.
Mmmmmm. I do like their gingerbread lattes as well. I also like half gingerbread and half cinnamon dulce lattes. With lots and LOTS of whipped cream. I’m going to give this one a shot (pun intended) at home. Even though we don’t have Jazzy Bird in our neck of the woods.
