We’re getting so close to Christmas! Yes, we all know how excited I get this time of year. So you can guess just how thrilled I am to partner with one of my favorite brands, Breville. I’m sure you’ve all heard me go on about just how much I love my Breville espresso machine. So when I had the opportunity to receive the new (and gorgeous) Red Velvet Cake collection, I was of course on board.
The line is so visually stunning…and obviously fun for the holidays…but it’s equally beautiful all year round. Since I now have the new Red Velvet Barista Pro, I really wanted to create an espresso-based drink for the holidays. Since I’ve already shared an espresso martini this season, I thought I’d do something warm and cozy for Christmas Eve and/or Christmas morning. Enter his Vanilla Gingerbread Latte which checks all those boxes. Fun fact, Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the year…so much fun to be had!
In addition to the Barista Pro, the Red Velvet Cake collection includes a blender, kettle, toaster, and a range of other Breville products. If you’re looking for something last minute, any of these would make the perfect holiday gift.
The details
This sweet latte is like a gingerbread cookie in drink form with a double shot of espresso. The best combination. I used the Barista Pro for my shot of espresso and it made this latte coffee shop quality. Maybe even a bit better with the addition of a little whipped cream and sweet caramel brûlée on top (kind of like Starbucks).
The caramel brûlée is literally just caramelized sugar that you break into pieces. SO SIMPLE, but yet so good – and festive! Just sprinkle the shards of sugar over the latte. They melt into the drink creating the most delicious caramel swirls in your gingerbread. Yes, it’s over the top, but perfect for Christmas morning by the fire!
