You’re a coffee lover, we get that. In fact, you might even call yourself a connoisseur. But what happens when you want to take your love of coffee to the next level and create something truly monstrous?
We’re not talking about those sad cups of black coffee you drink every morning. No, we’re talking about coffee drinks that are so Loaded with syrups, creams, and toppings that they could give Starbucks a run for their money.
Interested in creating your own monster coffee drinks? We’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll share recipes for some of our favourite monster coffee drinks, as well as tips on how to create your own custom concoctions. Let’s get started!
What Is a Monster Coffee Drink?
A monster coffee drink is a coffee drink that is made with iced coffee, milk, and flavoured syrups. It is a very popular drink that can be found at most coffee shops.
There are many different ways to make a monster coffee drink. You can use any type of milk that you want, and you can use any type of flavoured syrup that you want. You can also add in any type of whipped cream or topping that you want.
How to Select the Right Coffee Beans
When it comes to crafting the perfect monster coffee drink, the coffee beans you select are key. You want to start with a high-quality bean that will stand up to the added flavours and textures you’ll be adding.
There are a few things to consider when selecting your beans. First, think about your flavour profile. What kind of flavours do you want in your drink? Are you looking for something classic, like a mocha or latte? Or are you looking for something more adventurous, like a turmeric latte or chai tea?
Once you know your flavour profile, you can start narrowing down your bean choices. Look for a bean that will pair well with those flavours. For example, if you’re going for a mocha monster coffee, select a cocoa-flavoured bean. If you’re going for a chai tea monster coffee, select a black tea-flavoured bean.
Once you’ve selected the right beans, it’s time to roast them. Roasting is what gives coffee its unique flavour profile, so it’s important to select a roast that will complement your drink. If you’re going for something classic, like a mocha, select a medium or dark roast. If you’re going for something more adventurous, like a turmeric latte, select a light roast.
Remember: the better the coffee beans, the better your monster coffee drink will be!
The Art of Brewing the Perfect Cup
Now that you know the different types of monster coffee drinks, it’s time to learn how to brew the perfect cup.
The first thing you need to do is make sure you have the right tools. You’ll need a coffee maker, filtered water, a scale, and a thermometer. The next step is to measure and weigh your ingredients. For each drink, you’ll need 20 grammes of coffee and 200 grammes of water.
When it comes to brewing, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. The first is water temperature. The ideal temperature is 195 degrees Fahrenheit. If your water is too hot, it will over-extract the coffee and make it bitter. If it’s too cold, it will not extract enough flavour.
The next thing to consider is extraction time. For most drinks, you’ll want to extract for about 20-25 seconds. Finally, make sure you stir the coffee periodically to ensure even extraction.

It’s time to delve into some of the best monster coffee drinks to make! Let’s start with the classic – a Monster White Chocolate Mocha Latte. This one is a personal favourite, and it’s sure to please any coffee lover.
To make this drink, you’ll need strong brewed coffee, milk, white chocolate syrup, and a monster energy drink. Start by heating the milk and combining it with the white chocolate syrup in a blender or frother. Then add in your brewed coffee and a few shots of monster energy drinks into an ice-filled glass. Top off with the milk-syrup mixture and voila – there you have your monster mocha latte!
If you’re looking for something more unique, try adding espresso shots to create your own Monster Espresso Frappuccino. Simply mix espresso shots, ice cubes, sugar and pretty much whatever flavour of monster energy drink you like into a blender until smooth. A few drops of vanilla extract can really kick this drink up a notch too! Top off with whipped cream and voila – there’s your Monster Espresso Frappuccino.
Tips on Creating Your Own Unique Monster Coffee Drink
If you’re looking for something to far outshine the competition, you’ll want to create your own unique monster coffee drink. Start by deciding what kind of base you want—coffee, tea or something else entirely. You can also pick whatever milk is best for your taste, such as oat milk, soy milk or even almond milk.
This drink is all about creativity. Play around with different ingredients like syrups and spices to really get creative and make your own flavours. Try adding cardamom or cinnamon to give it a unique flavour and set it apart from other drinks. You can also add flavours like chocolate, mocha and even pumpkin spice, depending on the time of year.
And don’t be afraid to experiment! After all, a monster coffee drink is supposed to be big and bold—and that’s exactly what you want your creation to be.
Crafting Monster Coffee Drinks
You’ve probably got a few questions about crafting the perfect monster coffee drink – and we’ve got the answers!
First, let’s address what type of coffee is best for your monster coffee drinks. The trick is to find one with a deeper, more intense flavour. Arabica beans tend to be a good choice—they often have a fuller flavour than Robusta beans and are especially good when you’re making coffee-based creamers.
Second, what type of milk should you use? I’d recommend using a higher fat content milk like whole milk, almond milk creamer, or oat milk. It will help give your coffee drink some extra creaminess and make it much more enjoyable. Also, if you’re looking for an extra kick of sweetness in your monster coffee drink, try adding some coconut sugar or raw honey.
Finally, don’t forget the toppings! There are so many ways to make your monster coffee drinks even more delicious with the addition of some fun toppings. Some of my favourites include marshmallows, chocolate chips or chunks of dark chocolate, sprinkles or even hemp hearts. Go wild and have fun with it!
