gingerbread eggnog latte
Gingerbread and eggnog are two of my favorite holiday flavors, so today we’re combining them into one delicious latte. It starts with a super easy yet super flavorful gingerbread syrup that only requires 4 ingredients: water, molasses, dark brown sugar, and gingerbread spice. That gets combined with some espresso and eggnog, and it all gets topped off with a homemade whipped cream that’s flavored with the gingerbread syrup. It’s sweet, spicy, and a delicious way to get caffeinated.
So let’s get into it! 🙂

ingredients for a gingerbread eggnog latte
Gingerbread syrup:
- Water: part of the base of the syrup.
- Molasses for flavor and sweetness. I recommend unsulphured molasses for the best flavor.
- Dark brown sugar: for flavor and sweetness. You could use light brown sugar here but you would get less of the classic molasses-y taste that you get from gingerbread.
- Gingerbread spice: for flavor. I used a pre-made blend from King Arthur Baking, but you can use any pre-made spice or make your own blend.
whipped cream:
- Heavy whipping cream: the base of the whipped cream. You can use a non-dairy heavy whipping cream here as well.
- Gingerbread syrup: we’ll use some of the syrup from above to flavor and sweeten the whipped cream.
gingerbread eggnog latte:
- Espresso: use your favorite espresso here.
- Gingerbread syrup: for flavor and sweetness.
- Eggnog: for flavor, use your favorite eggnog here!
