December Coffee Moments.
“Fueled by espresso and Christmas music.”
Even amidst the busiest December days, there is beauty in this month. From the Christmas lights to the first snowfall to the festive holiday music. For women running businesses, coffee is a steadfast companion: part fuel, part pause, part reassurance.
We have chosen three coffees that capture December’s spirit — cozy, a touch indulgent, and full of festive cheer. These are the drinks that keep you company as you finish projects, enjoy a pause, or take a moment for yourself before stepping into what’s next.
Vanilla Peppermint Latte
A December classic with a soft, refreshing lift — not too sweet, just enough brightness to spark your morning.
You’ll need:
1–2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
¾ cup milk or oat milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
½–1 tsp peppermint syrup
Crushed candy cane for topping (optional)
How to make it:
Froth your milk until warm and smooth.
Mix vanilla and peppermint syrup into espresso.
Pour milk over coffee and stir.
Add a sprinkle of crushed candy cane for extra spirit.
Perfect for business planning, wrapping gifts, or easing into a winter morning.
Gingerbread Maple Cappuccino
Warm spices, a touch of maple, and a cloud of foam — this one tastes like December feels.
You’ll need:
1 shot espresso
½–1 tsp maple syrup
¼ tsp gingerbread spice (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg)
½ cup frothed milk
Pinch of cinnamon on top (optional)

A richer option for afternoons — comforting, smooth, and just indulgent enough.

1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp almond syrup

Sweetener of choice
Dark chocolate shaving (optional)
