Step-by-Step

Prep the mug (30 sec)
• Spread crushed graham cracker on a shallow plate.
• Paint the mug rim with a little chocolate sauce, then dip to coat in crumbs; set aside. -
Pull the espresso (40 sec)
• Dose 18–20 g Imperial Moto Miami Blend, tamp firmly.
• Extract a 2 oz double shot in 25–30 sec. -
Flavor base (15 sec)
• Into the graham-rimmed mug: pour 1 oz marshmallow syrup and 1 Tbsp chocolate sauce.
• Add the hot espresso; stir to meld the s’mores core. -
Steam & pour milk (30 sec)
• Steam 8 oz milk to ~150 °F / 65 °C with light micro-foam.
• Pour over the espresso mixture, giving the cup a gentle swirl to marry flavors. -
Toast & finish (30 sec)
• Skewer the jumbo marshmallow and torch until deeply golden and just starting to puff.
• Float it on the latte, drizzle a final ribbon of chocolate, and (optional) flick on a few smoked-salt flakes.
• Serve immediately—invite your guest to dunk the marshmallow, stir, and sip the fireside magic.
