Holiday Recipes Inspired by Tampa Bay
From cold brew cocktails to kid-friendly dirty sodas, these drinks offer the perfect mix of holiday cheer and hometown pride.
1. Treasure Spice Latte
Inspired by Tampa's pirate lore and legendary Gasparilla celebrations, this gingerbread latte brings warm, spiced flavor to chilly mornings (or Bucs game tailgates). Made with Monin Gingerbread Syrup, espresso, and steamed milk, the Treasure Spice Latte is as comforting as a thermos in hand while supporting your team.
2. Bayshore Buzz
Did you know that Bayshore Boulevard is one of the longest continuous sidewalks in the United States? Before you go for a walk down this iconic Tampa landmark, you’ll need to caffeinate! A nod to the energy of the Gasparilla parade and Tampa’s iconic waterfront, this Bayshore Buzz iced latte blends Monin Cookie Butter Syrup, cold brew, milk, and caramel cold foam. Sweet, smooth, and perfect for sipping on a morning walk or an evening stroll to look at holiday lights.
3. Channelside Chill
This peppermint cold brew cocktail mixes vodka, espresso liqueur, Monin Peppermint Syrup, cold brew coffee, and half & half. Equal parts bold and refreshing, the Channelside Chill cocktail adds a festive touch to any downtown holiday hang.
4. Rooster Roast Cappuccino
Named for Ybor City’s famous free-roaming roosters, this Rooster Roast Cappuccino blends Monin Macadamia Nut Syrup with espresso and steamed milk for a rich, nutty flavor. Be ready for the holiday rush with this cappuccino drink that’s bold, smooth, and sure to wake you up!
5. Pirate's Brew
Dirty soda meets mocktail in this kid-friendly drink. Root beer and Monin Toasted Marshmallow Syrup are a delicious match, made better by finishing off with flavored cold foam and a cherry on top. The Pirate’s Brew dirty soda is a treat fit for young pirates and parade-goers in need of refreshment after next month’s Gasparilla Children’s Parade.
