The pistachio iced latte is the green-hued newcomer catching everyone's eye. It stands out both in flavor and appearance — those pale green tones are easy to spot in café windows and on social feeds, and the flavor balances novelty with comfort.
Why pistachio is having a moment
Pistachio is still a nut flavor, so it feels familiar, but it's less common than hazelnut — which makes it feel a little more elevated and special. It works beautifully on a premium iced latte menu and pairs well with pistachio desserts.
Ingredients (1 drink)
- 36–40g espresso (double shot)
- 15ml pistachio syrup (or pistachio-vanilla, 1 tbsp)
- 120g ice
- 150ml cold milk (whole or oat)
- Crushed pistachios, for garnish (optional)
How to make it
- Pull a double shot of espresso.
- Stir the pistachio syrup into the warm espresso.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the sweetened espresso over it.
- Top with cold milk, stir, and finish with crushed pistachios if you like.
Pro tips
- Pistachio-vanilla syrup gives a rounder, sweeter flavor if available.
- A double shot keeps the coffee present against the rich nuttiness.
- Crushed pistachios on top add color and confirm the flavor is real.
Key takeaways
- Pistachio is familiar yet elevated — perfect for a premium menu.
- A double shot balances the rich, sweet nuttiness.
- Real pistachio garnish adds aroma and visual appeal.
