Maple Pecan Cold Brew 🍁🥜🧊 Smooth, Chilled, and Naturally Sweet With Toasted Maple-Nut Flavor

The Maple Pecan Cold Brew is rich without cream, sweet without syrupy overload, and smooth enough to sip slow. Maple brings warm depth, pecan adds roasted roundness, and cold brew keeps it bold and balanced.

It’s iced coffee with soul — and just enough sweetness to feel indulgent without getting sticky.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1 cup cold brew coffee (strong, unsweetened)
• 1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (Grade B or dark amber preferred)
• 1–2 tbsp pecan milk (or any nut milk, but pecan is ideal)
• Ice to fill glass
• Pinch of cinnamon or sea salt (optional)
• Optional garnish: crushed candied pecans, maple sugar rim, or toasted pecan on top

No pecan milk? Use oat or almond + 1 drop pecan extract or splash of butter extract

Instructions

Step 1: Build the Base

1. Fill a glass with ice.
2. Pour in cold brew.
3. Stir in maple syrup and pecan milk until fully combined.
4. Add cinnamon or sea salt if using.

Step 2: Garnish (Optional but Worth It)

1. Rim glass with maple syrup + crushed pecans for extra texture.
2. Top with a toasted pecan or dust of maple sugar.

Step 3: Sip and Chill

1. Stir gently and enjoy cold.
2. Best consumed within 10–15 minutes for peak flavor balance.

Flavor Variations

• Creamy Version – Add a splash of cream or half-and-half for a richer finish
• Spiced Pecan Cold Brew – Add cardamom, nutmeg, or clove for autumn depth
• Pecan Pie Cold Brew – Stir in ½ tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of brown sugar
• Iced Maple Pecan Latte – Add a shot of espresso over the top for layered visuals and flavor

Beer Twist (Optional)

• Use pecan brown ale or maple porter in place of part of the cold brew for a cocktail-style drink
• Reduce beer with maple syrup into a beer maple glaze, then drizzle over the top
• Serve as a float: ½ scoop vanilla ice cream + cold brew + splash of sweet nutty beer = dessert in a glass

Pro Tips

• Chill cold brew overnight with crushed pecans or a split vanilla bean for deeper flavor
• Use dark maple syrup for stronger molasses-like sweetness
• Great with baked goods — try with buttered sourdough, banana bread, or maple muffins

Final Thoughts

Maple Pecan Cold Brew is a chilled, nutty twist on cold coffee comfort — layered, slightly indulgent, and smooth enough to keep sipping. Whether you’re pouring it as a brunch treat, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a dessert-worthy coffee cocktail, it brings balance in every sip.

Cold brew meets maple. Pecan meets chill. Sip into the sweet side. 🍁🥜🧊☕
