Instructions
TO MAKE THE KAHLUA SUBSTITUTE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the water, cinnamon sticks and brown sugar, stirring until sugar has dissolved completely, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the espresso powder and vanilla until dissolved. Let cool completely.

- In a mason jar or cocktail shaker, add a bit of crushed ice along with the sweetened condensed milk and Almond milk and shake for 1-2 minutes until combined.
- Assemble the mocktails: For each mocktail, fill a good cocktail glass (11 oz.) halfway with crushed ice and pour half the amount of the following per glass: cold brew, khalua substitute, and the shaken sweetened condensed milk mixture in until glass(es) is filled. Top with a dollop (or two) of coconut whipped cream and stir slightly followed by cinnamon sticks and sprinkles of ground cinnamon, if desired.
- Sip and Enjoy!
Notes
- KAHLUA: Kahlúa coffee liqueur is one of the main ingredients in many of the world's favorite cocktails. Therefore, to make this recipe non-alcoholic----I created a great simple syrup substitute.
- ALCOHOL: If you'd like to spruce things up with alcohol, feel free to add 1 ounce of rum, vodka, etc.
- SERVING: To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
- SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK: For this recipe, I used regular sweetened condensed milk, however, to make it fully dairy-free---you can use a dairy-free version by Edwards & Son.
- WHAT PLANT-BASED MILKS ARE GOOD FOR THIS RECIPE?You can always use your fave or one of the following: Almond, coconut milk, homemade oat milk (froths/foams VERY WELL), homemade cashew milk, flax milk, potato milk, quinoa milk, etc.
