Salted Caramel Latte is an indulgent drink for those days when you need a little extra comfort or feel like being pampered. It’s sweet with a little saltiness, plus I added some cocoa powder for just a hint of chocolate flavor.
A fancy coffee shop specialty drink can easily be made at home and save you lots of money. Typically I’m a plain coffee type with just a little sweetener and creamer added.
But… this past September my husband and I went on our first cruise- a Princess Cruises Cruise off the coast of California. It must have been a month for firsts because I had my first Salted Caramel Latte on the cruise.
And then my second.
And my third.
And fourth.
One for each day of the cruise.
There was a wonderful coffee shop on the Ruby Princess called the International Cafe and boy were their Salted Caramel Lattes ever good! We got one each day late in the afternoon. I don’t usually drink caffeine late in the afternoon, but hey we were on a cruise ship.
With our Salted Caramel Lattes in hand we’d head out to the Promenade Deck, take a seat, and watch the sun set over the water.
That’s my idea of heaven y’all!
I can’t quite recreate that experience at home, but I can recreate a Salted Caramel Latte. 🙂

My husband wanted a “fancy” coffee, but I’m not about to drop $5. So I looked up some recipes and came upon this little treasure and thought I’d try it out. This took no time at all to make and he really likes it. Next time I’ll double the recipe so I can just drink a “fancy” hot chocolate 😍. Thank your sharing your recipe and saving me money. Though inam sure he will want this daily now. 😉
Oh, now I’m sad I didn’t try one of these onboard! But, I’ll be happy to make a million of them now to make up for it! 🙂
That view with a cup of this salted caramel latte totally looks like heaven! I can’t wait to try making this! I am such a sucker for flavored coffee drinks and this one looks perfect! 🙂
This is so happening this morning. Hey, I might even go all the way and make mine a salted caramel mocha ?
That sounds like a magical cruise! Glad you had fun! And also loving that I can make one of these at home, my hubby LOVES them!
Your latte photos are stunning! This looks so tasty and perfect for a chilly afternoon!
