Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup high-quality dark chocolate mocha sauce
  • 2 tbsp peppermint syrup
  • 2 oz freshly brewed espresso
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Crushed candy canes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the milk, mocha sauce, and peppermint syrup together in a small jar or container until fully incorporated.
  2. Fill a tall serving glass with ice cubes to the top.
  3. Pour 2 ounces of freshly brewed espresso directly over the ice.
  4. Pour the prepared chocolate peppermint milk mixture over the coffee slowly.
  5. Stir the combined ingredients gently to ensure a uniform distribution of flavors.
  6. Top the drink with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes if desired.

Notes

Brew the espresso ahead of time and chill it to prevent the ice from melting too quickly. Use a chilled glass to keep the mocha perfectly cold. Substitute almond or oat milk for a thicker, nuttier base that complements the chocolate.
