How to Store Pink Velvet Macchiato

The Pink Velvet Macchiato is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, you can store the milk mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy again, simply reheat the mixture and prepare a fresh shot of espresso. Avoid storing the whipped cream, as it doesn’t keep well.

Tips to Make Pink Velvet Macchiato

• Use whole milk for a creamier texture or a milk alternative for a lighter version.
• Experiment with different flavored syrups, like hazelnut or caramel, for a unique twist.
• If you need a caffeine-free option, replace the espresso with strong brewed herbal tea or steamed hot chocolate.

Variation

For a fruity twist, add a splash of raspberry or strawberry syrup instead of chocolate. This will transform the flavor while keeping the drink vibrant and pink!
