Good to know

Is your hot chocolate dairy free?

Yes. Our 52% Hot Chocolate is dairy free, so with oat or soya milk the whole drink is dairy free.

Are the syrups alcohol free?

Yes. Sweetbird Irish cream and all our syrups are alcohol free. Our espresso martini recipe is the only one with alcohol, and it is for adults aged 18 and over.

How much syrup should I use?

Start with 10ml (one pump) in a 12oz latte or a mug of hot chocolate, then adjust to taste.

How many calories are in a festive latte?

A 12oz semi-skimmed latte with one pump of syrup is around 150 kcal. Try our coffee calorie calculator.
