Non-Espresso Based Drinks

Read through our suggestions and order all your coffee shop supplies from us!

Non-Espresso Drink Options

There are days when both coffee lovers and non-coffee lovers might visit a coffee shop and not want an espresso-based drink. As a coffee shop, read through these recipes and expand your non-espresso menu offerings.

Steamer

A steamer is like a latte without the espresso, making it a flavorful milk-based drink.

To make, begin with your choice of Torani syrup and fill with steamed milk. Finish with a small amount of foam.

Hot Chocolate

You can never go wrong with a warm cup of hot chocolate! Making hot chocolate is fairly similar to making a steamer. This time, start with your Torani chocolate sauce of choice and fill with steamed milk. Top with a small amount of foam and finish with some whipped cream.

Summer Tip: When it’s hot outside a hot chocolate might not sound as delicious. Mix it up and offer an iced hot chocolate for a refreshing and chocolatey summer treat!

Cremosa

If you’re looking for a chilled non-espresso beverage, a Cremosa is a delicious treat that is perfect for non-coffee lovers.

To make, fill a cup with ice and add any Torani syrup. Add soda water and a small amount of half & half. Then you can top with whipped cream for a delicious drink!

Amalfi

An Amalfi is fairly similar to a Cremosa, but without the half & half. Start with your cup filled with ice, add your Torani syrup of choice, fill with soda water, and top with a small amount of cream.

Italian Soda

Italian soda is a refreshing drink that’s easy for any coffee shop to make. What’s great about Italian soda is that your customers can create whatever flavor they love. From vanilla or raspberry to cherry vanilla, they can create their own drink with the Torani syrups you have on hand.

Fill a cup with ice, add any flavor of Torani syrup, fill with soda water. If they want a cream soda, top with a small amount of cream.
