6 Iced Coffees You’ve Got to Try When You’re Over the Plain One

Coffee lovers, this one’s not just delicious and refreshing for summer—it’s a showstopper too. You can make it with plant-based or dairy milk, both whip up a perfect froth. Fill the glass with your chosen milk and plenty of ice cubes, to taste. Making the mousse is quick and easy.

Brew your coffee, mix it with a splash of cold milk, then froth it with an electric milk frother. You’ll get a creamy coffee foam to spoon on top. No frother? No problem! Use a French press to whip the cold coffee milk until light and airy.

Ready for a seriously chocolatey treat? Forget counting calories—just savor the flavors! Brew a double espresso and set it aside while you prep your glass. Melt some chocolate in it, swirling the glass so it coats the sides. Pour in the cooled espresso, add ice and cold milk. This masterpiece begs for a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top. You can make a sugar-free version, but honestly, it’s worth indulging.

This is one of our favorites—it looks like little coffee candies floating on top. Brew several shots of espresso or long coffee, then pour into an ice cube tray. These coffee cubes replace regular ice, making your drink extra refreshing. Fill your glass halfway with cold milk, then add the frozen coffee cubes once solid. Watching them melt is a fun show, and your iced latte won’t get watered down.

Perfect for a late afternoon chill session—just a heads up, you won’t be driving after this one, but honestly, who’d want to miss out on this treat? You can make it two ways: cold or frappé style. For cold, grab a shaker and mix 3.5 oz milk, 1 espresso shot, 3.5 oz chocolate liqueur, and a sprinkle of grated chocolate on top.

For frappé, add some ice and blend until slushy. To get that perfect icy texture, increase the ingredients a bit so it’s not too watery.

If you love coconut and coffee, it’s time to bring them together. You’ll need high-quality coconut cream that whips up firm—that’s your topping. Brew your coffee, fill the glass with your choice of milk and ice cubes, then crown it with the coconut cream. Sweeten with sugar or stevia, and sprinkle generously with shredded coconut on top.

Peanut butter is a global favorite and fits easily into a balanced diet—just skip the sugary kinds. You can even make a frappé that works as a high-protein snack. Blend coffee, milk, ice, and 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Sweeten with a few drops of stevia and pour into your glass. Drizzle a little extra peanut butter on top for a fun finish.
