Fonte coffee with a MONIN caramel syrup or sauce application

A caramel latte is a familiar menu item, but it still needs balance to sell well. The coffee base, sweetness, milk texture, and presentation all matter. This version works as a starting point for cafés and bakeries that want a warmer, more seasonal drink without complicating service too much.

Mongol.coffee can help adapt the drink for hot or iced service, choose the right MONIN caramel application, and position it within a wider coffee menu.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 oz. 22 1/2 mL MONIN Caramel Syrup
  • 1/4 oz. 7 1/2 mL MONIN Salted Caramel Syrup
  • 2 shot(s) espresso, Fonte Espresso Blend
  • Fill with steamed milk
  • MONIN Caramel Sauce to finish

Method

  1. 1

    Pour both syrups into the serving cup in the order listed.

  2. 2

    Pull the espresso directly over the syrups and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Steam milk to a fine, glossy texture.

  4. 4

    Pour the steamed milk into the serving cup, holding the foam back until the last pour.

  5. 5

    Finish with a caramel sauce drizzle and serve.

Service notes

Glass: Mug
Glass size: 12 oz.
Garnish: MONIN Caramel Sauce drizzle
The salted caramel is there to stop the drink reading as flat sweet. Leave it out for a softer, more traditional profile.

Adaptation options

Serve hot for winter and morning occasions.
Serve iced for takeaway and warm-weather menus.
Add a sauce finish or light garnish for dessert-led positioning.

Iced serve

- Build both syrups and the espresso in a 16 oz. glass and stir before adding ice. - Fill with cold milk rather than steamed, then stir once more. - Increase the caramel syrup to 1 oz. 30 mL, because cold service mutes sweetness. - Finish with sauce lined around the inside of the glass rather than on top.

Menu placement

- Price it above the house latte, not alongside it. The sauce finish and the second syrup are what justify the gap. - Run it as a named seasonal drink for eight to twelve weeks rather than as a permanent line. - Pair it with a pastry or dessert item at the counter, where the caramel finish is visible.

Why this works on a menu

  • Uses familiar caramel demand while still feeling like a signature drink.
  • Works hot or iced, which helps extend one menu idea across seasons.
  • Can be paired with bakery items or positioned as a coffee upsell.
