The Best Iced Coffee Drinks of Summer 2026 — Made at Home with 787 Coffee WOW Sauces
Let’s Connect on Social
Summer is here. The espresso machine is calling. And the best iced coffee drinks of 2026 are not at a chain coffee shop — they are in your kitchen, waiting for you to make them.
787 Coffee invented the Coquito Latte. We created the Horchata Latte, the Piña Colada Latte, the Tres Leches Latte, the Mazapán Latte, and the Dulce de Leche Latte. Every one of them is extraordinary hot. Every one of them is even better over ice on a summer morning.
This is your complete guide to the best iced coffee drinks of summer 2026 — six handcrafted WOW Latte recipes you can make at home using 787 Coffee WOW Sauces and our award-winning Supremo Roast espresso, farm-grown at Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico at 3,000 feet above sea level.
One farm. Six flavors. One summer. Let's go.
Why 787 Coffee WOW Sauces Make the Best Iced Coffee Drinks at Home
Most iced coffee drinks are made with flavored syrups — commercial, mass-produced, poured from a bottle that has been sitting on a shelf for months. The flavor is artificial. The sweetness is synthetic. The cultural authenticity is nonexistent.
787 Coffee WOW Sauces are different. Every sauce is handcrafted in-house using real ingredients — real coconut, real spices, real natural sweetness — inspired by the flavors of Latin American and Puerto Rican culture that our team grew up with. When you pour a WOW Sauce over espresso you are not adding flavoring. You are adding a tradition.
Combined with the Supremo Roast — our single-origin honey-processed specialty coffee from Hacienda Iluminada, with notes of buttery caramel, dark chocolate, and citrus brightness — these iced drinks become something no chain coffee shop can replicate.
Because no chain coffee shop owns a farm.
"Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a coffee farm. We do. And every iced latte you make with our sauces starts with coffee that grew on that farm."

THE BASE RECIPE — How to Make Any 787 Coffee Iced WOW Latte at Home
Every iced WOW Latte follows the same simple process. Master this and you can make all six.
What you need:
2 shots of 787 Coffee Supremo Roast espresso
2 tablespoons of your chosen WOW Sauce
6 oz cold milk — whole, oat, or coconut
A glass full of ice
Your chosen garnish
The method:
Pull two shots of Supremo Roast espresso and let cool for 2 minutes — or brew extra strong in a French press or AeroPress if you do not have an espresso machine
Add 2 tablespoons of WOW Sauce to the bottom of a glass
Pour the espresso over the sauce and stir until fully combined
Fill a separate glass with ice
Pour the espresso and sauce mixture over the ice
Add cold milk and stir gently
Garnish and serve immediately
Pro tip from our baristas: Let the espresso cool slightly before adding it to ice — this prevents over-dilution and keeps the flavor concentrated and bold.
🥥 DRINK 1 — Iced Coquito Latte The drink 787 Coffee invented. The most Puerto Rican iced coffee on the planet.
The Iced Coquito Latte is the drink that started the WOW Latte program — and the one that goes the most viral every summer. Pale creamy coconut color against dark espresso ice. Coconut flakes floating on top. The first sip that makes everyone at the table ask what you are drinking.
The flavor: Real coconut. Warm holiday spices — cinnamon, nutmeg. Natural sweetness that tastes like coquito at Christmas, served cold on a summer morning. The Supremo Roast espresso sharpens over ice and the cinnamon comes through in a way that makes every sip feel like a summer evening in San Juan.
Garnish: Coconut flakes and a pinch of cinnamon
Dairy-free: Oat milk pairs perfectly — the natural creaminess amplifies the coconut
Why it goes viral: The visual is extraordinary. The pale coconut cream swirling through dark espresso over ice photographs better than almost any coffee drink in the world. Make it. Post it. Tag us.
"The Iced Coquito Latte is what Puerto Rico tastes like on a warm day. We think everyone deserves to know that feeling."
🍮 DRINK 2 — Iced Tres Leches Latte Dessert in a glass. The one that converts people who think they do not like lattes.
The Tres Leches Latte takes the beloved Latin American cake — soaked in three milks, light as air, sweet as memory — and builds it into an iced espresso drink that tastes like a reward for getting through Monday.
The flavor: Sweet cream. Vanilla sponge notes. Light caramel. The Supremo Roast cuts through the sweetness with its dark chocolate backbone and the result is a perfectly balanced iced drink — indulgent without being heavy.
Garnish: A dusting of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey
Best for: Afternoon pick-me-up. Post-lunch treat. Any moment that deserves something special.
The conversion drink: If someone in your life does not think they like coffee — make them an Iced Tres Leches Latte over ice with oat milk. They will change their mind before the glass is empty.
🍍 DRINK 3 — Iced Piña Colada Latte A vacation in your morning cup. The most photographed drink of summer 2026.
The Iced Piña Colada Latte is the summer drink. Pineapple brightness. Coconut sweetness. The tropical energy of a vacation destination poured over espresso and ice.
The flavor: Fresh pineapple. Real coconut. Bright tropical sweetness that cuts through the Supremo Roast espresso with a clarity that wakes you up better than any alarm. This is the drink you make on a Saturday morning when you want to feel like you are somewhere warm before you have left the house.
Garnish: A slice of fresh pineapple on the rim and a coconut flake sprinkle
Best time to post on social: 7am on a Saturday. The engagement on this drink's photos is some of the highest of any WOW Latte — the color contrast between the tropical sauce and the dark espresso over ice is stunning.
Dairy-free: Coconut milk doubles down on the tropical flavor and makes this drink extraordinary.
🍬 DRINK 4 — Iced Mazapán Latte The unexpected one. The Latin American candy you grew up with — now in your morning cup.
Mazapán is the almond-based candy that shows up in every Latino childhood — in Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, across the Caribbean. Sweet. Slightly nutty. The kind of flavor that transports you immediately to a specific memory the first time you taste it.
The flavor: Almond. Honey. Warm nuttiness that wraps around the Supremo Roast espresso like a warm afternoon. Over ice this drink becomes something uniquely refreshing — the nuttiness brightens, the almond sweetness deepens, and the dark chocolate notes of the Supremo hold everything together.
Garnish: Crushed almond on top and a drizzle of honey
The cultural drink: This is the one that makes Latino coffee lovers stop and say — they got it exactly right. The Mazapán Latte is authentic. It tastes like the candy. And that authenticity is what makes 787 Coffee different from every other specialty coffee brand in New York City.
🍚 DRINK 5 — Iced Horchata Latte The smooth one. The crowd-pleaser. The one that works for everyone.
Horchata is the rice milk drink that crosses every Latin American cultural border — served in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, across the Caribbean. Slightly sweet. Cinnamon-forward. Silky smooth. One of the most beloved non-alcoholic drinks in Latin American culture.
The flavor: Rice milk sweetness. Cinnamon. Subtle vanilla. The Supremo Roast espresso cuts through the horchata sauce with its citrus brightness and the result is the most approachable WOW Latte of the collection — one that works for every palate, every morning, every season.
Garnish: A cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon
Dairy-free: This is already the most dairy-free friendly WOW Sauce — use oat milk or almond milk for a completely plant-based summer iced latte.
The gateway drink: If you are introducing someone to the WOW Latte collection for the first time — start here. Once they love the Iced Horchata Latte the rest of the collection becomes irresistible.
🍯 DRINK 6 — Iced Dulce de Leche Latte The richest one. The reward. The one you order when you deserve something extraordinary.
Dulce de Leche is the Latin American caramel that appears in every culture from Argentina to Puerto Rico — slower to make than regular caramel, richer in flavor, deeper in sweetness, and more satisfying in every way.
The flavor: Rich caramel. Buttery sweetness. A depth that coats the back of your mouth long after the last sip. Over ice the Dulce de Leche sauce meets the Supremo Roast's dark chocolate notes and creates something that tastes like the best possible version of an iced caramel latte — except it is not a caramel latte. It is something completely original.
Garnish: A drizzle of dulce de leche sauce on top and flaked sea salt
The closing drink: Order this one last. After a meal. After a long day. At the end of a summer afternoon when you want something that feels like a reward for everything you got through today.
