Winter Drink Menu 2025
Saying goodbye to the holiday drinks is made much easier once you get a taste of what the winter drink menu holds. These warm flavors almost make you forget how cold it is. Some of our most intricate and complicated drinks of the year are featured on this menu. The colder indoor energy of the winter seems to invite the tinkering and tweaking for these delicious concoctions you’ll find here. Read about each below and flag the tasty drink for your next visit!
The coquito
Coquito (little coconut) is a traditional wintertime Puerto Rican beverage using sweetened condensed milk, white rum, spices and coconut milk. We wanted to recreate this drink with an espresso twist. We featured this for the first time on our winter menu 2021, but we’ve been getting requests to bring it back for months already, so we couldn’t wait any longer.
Ice Melt latte
This bourbon caramel latte garnished with sea salt is perfect after shoveling snow for a little too long and is sure to help thaw those frozen hands and hearts alike. It starts with a bourbon reduction and house-made caramel syrup, then we combine it with espresso and steamed milk and garnish it with cracked sea salt on top.
The IRish Goodbye
Just as Irish Coffee was originally invented to comfort worn and wearied travelers, our take on the beloved cocktail aims to do the same. This comforting drink is made with espresso, steamed milk, Irish whiskey reduction, sweetened condensed milk, almond and vanilla extracts and garnished with cocoa dust.
Cafe Exclusives
The trend of unique drinks at each cafe location continues this winter with three delicious new drinks to try! Make sure to stop by each cafe this season for a chance to try them all and decide for yourself which one is best!
Highwood Cafe
Raspberry Bliss
Some of you have been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for years for us to release a white chocolate mocha. The time has finally come! This delicious white chocolate raspberry mocha, which we call Raspberry Bliss, is a beautiful combination of sweet and refreshing, with just the right amount of tart from the raspberries to perfectly compliment the espresso.
Libertyville Cafe
Spiced Pear Latte
This Spiced Pear Latte was originally a fall suggestion that just sounded too good to pass up a try this winter. One sip of this cozy latte will have you embracing all that we love about winter. Made from real pear juice, brown sugar, and delicious spices, you’re sure to fall in love with these flavors at the first sip!
Winnetka Cafe
Ooolong
Tea lattes are the perfect comfort in the wintertime, with just enough caffeine for an afternoon-pick-me—up for these long winter days! This oolong tea latte combines vanilla, almond, and brown sugar to make a truly incredible and cozy drink.
