Sweet Heat & Cinnamon Dreams: Churro Latte Remix

May 8, 2025

Presented by Lucia from Dia Café

Let’s be real—there’s coffee, and then there’s coffee. The kind that hits your soul, not just your sleep-deprived brain. And if you know anything about Latin culture, you know that coffee is more than a morning routine—it’s a ritual. It’s community, comfort, and a little fire in your cup. So if you need more Latin coffee recipes in your life, we got you!

DIA Café is here to bring that Latin fire to your daily brew. Whether you’re a coffee purist or someone who just wants to upgrade their kitchen game, this guide to making a Churro Latte Remix—Latin style—is your one-way ticket to caffeinated bliss.

So, Who Is DIA Café?

DIA Café isn’t just another bag of beans on a grocery shelf. Every coffee bean they roast is a shout-out to the bold, authentic, and unapologetic spirit of Latin America.

Their mission? Blend passion with community. DIA sources its beans ethically from passionate growers all across Latin America—people who live and breathe coffee the same way your abuela does. When you brew a cup of DIA, you’re fueling more than your day—you’re helping uplift Latino communities and keeping our cultural traditions alive and well.

And that’s not just good coffee. That’s real good coffee.

Introducing Lucia — Our Cafecito Coach

Now that we’ve got your attention (and probably your taste buds tingling), meet Lucia. She’s part of the DIA crew and the go-to for no-nonsense, all-flavor coffee recipes. Today, she’s bringing you a sweet and spicy treat: the Churro Latte.

This recipe is the kind of thing that makes you pause for a moment and say, “Why haven’t I been making this every day?” Lucky for us, Lucia’s here to show us how it’s done—with a DIA twist.

What Is a Churro Latte, Anyway?

Imagine the warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness of a freshly fried churro, but in drink form. That’s the Churro Latte. It’s a delightful blend of sweet brown sugar, aromatic cinnamon, creamy milk, and rich espresso, all brought together with a drizzle of dulce de leche. It’s comfort in a cup, with a Latin flair.

Lucia’s DIA-Style Churro Latte

This version uses DIA Café’s Wepa Espresso blend to bring out the warm, roasty depth that balances the drink’s sweetness with just the right amount of punch. Wepa is full-bodied and bright—perfect for lattes where you want the coffee to stand tall among the flavor.

Let’s break it down, step-by-step.

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Sweeten the Glass

Start by squeezing a generous swirl of dulce de leche sauce along the inside of your glass. This not only adds sweetness but also creates a beautiful presentation.

Step 2: Mix the Spices

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until well blended.

Step 3: Prepare the Milk

Pour the milk into a shaker or mixing glass. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Shake or stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Drink

Fill the prepared glass with ice. Pour the milk mixture over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.

Step 5: Add the Espresso

Slowly pour the freshly brewed Wepa Espresso over the milk mixture. This will create a beautiful layered effect and bring a bold, balanced energy to the drink.

Step 6: Garnish (Optional)

For an extra touch, drizzle a bit more dulce de leche on top and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.

And that’s it. Six simple steps to a café-worthy drink at home.

Why Wepa Espresso?

Wepa isn’t just an espresso—it’s a vibe. Bold, smooth, and a little sassy, it holds its own in any latte without overpowering the sweeter flavors. It brings out the warmth in the cinnamon and brown sugar while keeping the drink grounded and deeply satisfying.

If you want your churro latte to taste like you ordered it straight from a Latin American café with a side of sunshine and soul—Wepa is the way to go.

More Than a Drink

In Latin homes, coffee is never just about caffeine. It’s how we welcome guests. It’s how we end a meal. It’s how we slow down in a fast world.

The Churro Latte is more than a sweet treat—it’s a celebration of culture, tradition, and the simple joys of life. So take a moment, savor each sip, and let the flavors transport you to a place of warmth and comfort.

Bold, Sweet, and a Little Bit Spicy: Meet the Señorita Picante Latte

Presented by Alli from DIA Café

You know that feeling when you're walking down the street and hear heels clicking with confidence? That’s the energy we’re channeling today. Introducing the Señorita Picante, a drink that struts into your day with bold cherry, smooth vanilla, and just enough cayenne to remind you not to play it safe.

It's equal parts elegance and edge. A perfect pick for those mornings (or afternoons) when your to-do list is long but your spirit is even longer.

Meet DIA Café: Coffee With Cultura

We believe in cafecito with intention. At DIA, every bean is part of a story—harvested by Latin American farmers, crafted with community at heart, and poured with purpose. Whether you’re in it for the ritual, the recharge, or the flavor, we’re here to make sure every sip counts.

Our mission? Support Latino communities and create gathering spaces powered by coffee, culture, and conversation. So whether you're here for a quick fix or a new favorite ritual, you’re part of something bigger with every cup.

Now, let’s spice things up.

The Señorita Picante: A Latte with Attitude

Alli, one of our fiercest baristas (and salsa queen on weekends), is behind this flavor-forward twist on the classic iced latte. Inspired by her abuela’s love of cherries and her own not-so-subtle obsession with heat, the Señorita Picante is layered, luxurious, and just bold enough to raise eyebrows.

It starts sweet with cherry and vanilla, but don’t be fooled—it finishes with a subtle kick of cayenne and a wink that says, “Yeah, I did that.”

Let’s Make It: The Senorita Picante Latte

This recipe is designed to impress but easy enough to whip up when you're short on time but not on flair.

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Mix the Sweet and the Spicy
 In a shaker, combine the cherry syrup, vanilla syrup, and a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Don’t go overboard—a little heat goes a long way.

Step 2: Shake it Like You Mean It
 Add ice and shake until the mixture is cold and slightly frothy. This step brings out the flavors and chills the base.

Step 3: Layer the Latte
 Pour the spiced cherry-vanilla mix over a fresh glass of ice. Slowly add your espresso shot to create a layered effect (bonus points if you're showing it off on IG).

Step 4: Add the Creaminess
 Top with 4 oz. of your favorite milk—steamed or cold. Oat, almond, dairy—it all works here. Watch the colors swirl.

Step 5: Drizzle Drama (Optional but Glorious)
 Drizzle a little cherry reduction or syrup down the sides or over the top for an extra hit of flavor—and aesthetic flair.

And that’s it! The Señorita Picante is ready to turn your break into a moment, your kitchen into a café, and your day into a power move.

Why It Matters

Anyone can make a latte. But the Señorita Picante? She’s more than a drink—she’s a whole persona. A reminder that being sweet doesn’t mean you can’t have spice. That tradition and boldness don’t cancel each other out—they elevate.

When you choose a drink like this, you’re not just sipping—you’re owning the moment. And when it’s made with DIA coffee? You're tasting culture, craft, and corazón in every layer.

So go ahead—channel your inner señorita. Be sweet, be spicy, be bold.

Sabor, Spice, and Steam: Making the Perfect Mayan Mocha

Presented by Lucia FROM DIA Coffee

Let’s be honest—some mornings hit harder than a reggaetón bass drop. You’re tired, your hair’s doing its own thing, and your to-do list is already throwing shade. But that’s where DIA Café steps in, bringing flavor, fire, and a little Latin soul to your cup. And today? We're diving into a drink that’s as bold as abuela’s opinions and as comforting as her hugs: the Mayan Mocha, made with DIA’s signature Wepa Espresso.

But first… who is DIA Café, and why should you care?

Meet DIA Café: Coffee With Cultura

DIA isn’t just a café—it’s a movement. A celebration. A cafecito-fueled revolution, if you will. At its heart, DIA is about blending passion with community. Each bean is ethically sourced from Latin America, lovingly nurtured by growers who pour generations of tradition into every harvest. When you sip DIA, you’re not just getting caffeine—you’re getting corazón.

The mission? To uplift Latino communities, one cup at a time. DIA's mission is to partner with local Latino families, amplifying art, culture, and sabor in every corner of the space. It’s not just about coffee. It’s about connection.

And speaking of connection, let’s talk about the recipe that’s got us dancing in the kitchen.

The Mayan Mocha: A Little Bit Ancient, A Whole Lot Delicious

Our lovely cafetera today is Lucia, one of DIA Café’s spirited baristas and resident mocha magician. She’s here to walk you through a coffee recipe that’s equal parts comfort and kick: the Mayan Mocha—a modern twist on a legendary Latin drink.

So what is it, exactly?

The Mayan mocha draws its roots from the ancient Mayan beverage made with crushed cocoa beans, chili peppers, and water. It was warm, spicy, and a bit intense—kind of like your favorite tía. Over time, modern coffee lovers have added their own flair: coffee, milk, chocolate sauce, and spices like cinnamon and cayenne pepper.

At DIA, we’ve perfected a version that honors tradition but adds some wepa—with a bold shot of our Wepa Espresso. Think rich chocolate, creamy milk, a little spice, and a whole lot of soul.

Let’s Get to the Good Stuff: The Recipe

Alright, enough chisme—let’s make this thing. Here’s how to craft a Mayan Mocha that’ll warm your soul and maybe even impress that cute neighbor who "just loves coffee."

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Chocolate Comes First
 Pour about ½ oz of chocolate sauce into your cup. Lucia says this is the sweet base that holds everything together—like a good telenovela plot twist.

Step 2: Bring the Heat
 Now add your cayenne pepper. Just a pinch if you’re shy. Or go big if you like to live dangerously. (Pro tip: start small, taste, then adjust. This is spice, not a dare.)

Step 3: Sprinkle That Cinnamon
 Add a teaspoon of cinnamon—or a little more if you're like Lucia, who says, “Cinnamon is like good energy—it can never be too much.”

Step 4: Enter the Wepa Espresso
 Time for that rich, velvety shot of Wepa Espresso. This blend brings bold notes with just the right amount of depth. It’s basically espresso with rhythm.

Step 5: Swirl, Baby, Swirl
 Give your cup a gentle swirl. This isn’t a protein shake—be tender. You want those flavors to mingle, flirt, and fall in love.

Step 6: Steamed Milk Finale
 Top it off with steamed milk, poured slowly so it blends like a creamy sunrise. (And if you want to get fancy, a little foam art never hurts.)

And just like that, you’ve got yourself a Mayan Mocha—a cup full of tradition, spice, and flavor that'll make your morning feel like a fiesta.

Why It Matters

Sure, you could grab a generic mocha from the corner chain and call it a day. But when you make a Mayan Mocha with DIA, you’re not just fueling your hustle—you’re honoring heritage. You’re sipping centuries of tradition, innovation, and warmth.

And maybe, just maybe, you’re starting your day with something a little deeper than caffeine—a reminder that culture can be delicious, and community can be brewed one cup at a time.

So go ahead. Take a sip. Seize your day. Savor your culture. Stir in a little spice.

Lucia’s got plenty more recipes where this came from—so stay tuned, and stay bold.

Try it yourself and tag us @diacoffees with your Mayan Mocha creations! Got your own spicy twist? We want to see it.

How to Make a Carajillo That’ll Wake Your Spirit (and Maybe Your Neighbors)

Presented by Tori from DIa Cafe

Let’s talk about a cocktail that hits all the right notes: bold, a little sweet, unapologetically strong, and with a Latin twist that says "I'm not here to play." We're talking about the Carajillo—a coffee cocktail that’s as fun to say as it is to drink.

But before we dive into the recipe (and trust us, you’ll want to try this one immediately), let’s spill the beans on the magic behind this blend: DIA Café.

What’s DIA Café?

DIA Café isn’t just another name on a coffee bag—it’s a movement. Born in Greendale, Wisconsin (yes, you read that right), DIA started as a local café with a big vision: to blend passion and community through coffee that speaks our language. Ethically sourced from passionate growers across Latin America, DIA coffee is more than your morning fix—it's a love letter to our roots.

DIA partners with Latino families and showcases the art, flavors, and soul of Latin America. Think of DIA as your cool cousin who throws the best parties, brings the good coffee, and somehow always has their life together. Yeah—that’s the vibe.

Every sip is bold, bright, and full of fire. It’s coffee with ganas.

So…What’s a Carajillo?

A Carajillo is the cocktail version of that friend who convinces you to go out for “just one drink” and then leads you into an unforgettable night. It’s strong. It’s sweet. It’s simple. It’s what happens when espresso meets liqueur and decides to throw a party in your mouth.

Here’s the breakdown:

Though it has Spanish origins, the Carajillo is huge in Mexico, where it’s often the star of after-dinner conversations that go way past midnight.

Meet Tori: The Brains Behind Your New Favorite Drink

Tori from DIA Coffees is about to walk you through a Carajillo recipe that slaps. She’s using DIA’s Mucho Macho blend—a bold coffee that doesn’t just wake you up, it lifts you up.

This version is creamy, frothy, and just sweet enough to make you forget there’s alcohol in it (careful now). It’s perfect for impressing your friends, winding down after a long day, or just giving yourself a little ¡vámonos! boost when needed.

How to Make the Perfect Carajillo (DIA Style)

What you’ll need:

Let’s break it down:

Step 1:
 Start by adding sweetened condensed milk to your brewed coffee—about 1 tablespoon per serving. No need to be exact; we’re not baking a cake here.

Step 2:
 Froth the mixture together. You can use a handheld frother or just give it a good whisk with some flair. You want it creamy with a light foam on top—like a café con leche that decided to dress up.

Step 3:
 Pour your Licor 43 into a large glass full of ice. Be generous. You're not here for a weak pour.

Step 4:
 Now, gently pour your frothy coffee-milk mixture over the ice and liquor. It’ll layer beautifully if you take your time.

Step 5:
 Give it a little swirl to mix the flavors. Think of it like waking up all the ingredients and telling them it’s showtime.

Step 6:
 Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. It's a small move with big energy.

And just like that—bam—you’ve got yourself a Carajillo that’ll make you rethink every coffee cocktail you’ve ever had.

When to Serve It (AKA When Not to)

Final Sip

The Carajillo is proof that simple ingredients, when done right, can deliver serious wow. And when you start with a coffee like DIA’s Mucho Macho, you’re already halfway to greatness.

So go ahead. Seize the DIA. Stir up a Carajillo. And raise your glass to bold flavor, vibrant culture, and cocktails that keep the night (or day) going.

P.S. If you’re not already stocked up, head over to www.seizethedia.com to grab your bag of Mucho Macho or any of DIA's spirited blends. Trust us—once you go Latin, your coffee game never goes back.
