Quick answer

Gingerbread Cappuccino: 20 ml Swa Gingerbread Syrup + 30 ml espresso + 120 ml steamed milk + thick cappuccino foam. Top with crushed gingerbread and cinnamon dust. Ready in 2 minutes. Serves 1. A festive spice cappuccino your team can execute in under 2 minutes, consistently.

Gingerbread is the most powerful seasonal coffee flavour on a cafe menu — it converts an ordinary cappuccino into an experience guests actively seek out and return for. Swa Gingerbread Syrup brings the warm, spiced gingerbread profile — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, a hint of clove — to espresso in a pre-balanced, naturally made concentrate. Your team doesn't need a spice kit. One pour, consistently festive.

Add it as a seasonal special. Sell it year-round. The guests who find it in December will ask for it in June.
