Summer Iced Coffee Menu: Caramelito & Tiramisu Edition

When the heat hits, coffee drinkers want something chilled—but not bland. Whether you’re after a creamy, caramel-kissed fix or a bold coffee with Italian dessert flair, summer menus need more than just plain iced lattes. The challenge? Keeping deep coffee flavor while adding seasonal sweetness and chill.

Two new iced coffee drinks—ice caramelito coffee and ice tiramisu coffee—offer distinct flavor paths: one sweet and creamy with vanilla milk and caramel ice cream, the other intense with ristretto or decaf espresso layered over chocolate and cookie notes. Both use top 1–2% global specialty beans and can be replicated at home.

What’s in the New Summer Iced Coffee Series?

FrontStreet Coffee’s summer iced series introduces two new blends designed for contrast: Ice Caramelito Coffee and Ice Tiramisu Coffee. Both start with carefully selected specialty-grade beans—the top 1–2% from leading global growing regions—to ensure a rich, consistent base. These drinks aren’t just cold versions of classics; they’re engineered for layered flavor and a smooth summer mouthfeel.

Ice Caramelito Coffee: Sweet, Creamy & Caramel-Forward

This drink builds on Caramelito, a coffee blend chosen for its natural sweetness. It’s served with vanilla-flavored milk and topped with caramel ice cream. The result is a smooth, soft-textured iced coffee with toffee-like flavors and a refreshing finish—ideal for those who prefer a dessert-like, less bitter coffee experience.

Ice Tiramisu Coffee: Bold Espresso with Italian Dessert Notes

Made with either a ristretto or decaffeinated intense espresso, this version layers strong, concentrated coffee with flavors reminiscent of authentic Italian chocolate and cookies. It’s crafted as a midday pick-me-up, delivering a rich, bold taste that evokes the classic tiramisu profile—perfect for an office or home treat during hot afternoons.

How to Make These Drinks at Home

The secret to both drinks lies in the beans and balance. Each recipe was fine-tuned by professional baristas to match Chinese taste preferences, focusing on both flavor depth and visual layering. While the original versions are served in cafes, the recipes are simple enough for home brewing. For best results, use a quality espresso or ristretto base, pair with complementary flavors (vanilla, caramel, chocolate), and consider texture contrasts like ice cream or cookies.

Its 345ml double-walled stainless steel design keeps beverages hot or cold, with an exterior that stays comfortable to touch. The sleek, modern cup is ideal for enjoying your iced coffee on the go—whether you’re commuting, traveling, or simply moving around the house.
