The Christmas season is the perfect time to indulge in festive flavors, like a peppermint mocha! While the classic version is warm and cozy, we’re putting a refreshing twist on this holiday favorite with an iced peppermint mocha recipe. This delightful drink pairs the rich flavor of Burro Bueno Coffee with cool peppermint and creamy chocolate for a beverage that’s as invigorating as it is indulgent.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup freshly brewed Burro Bueno Coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk (or your favorite milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream
- Crushed peppermint candy or chocolate shavings for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
-
Brew your coffee: Start by brewing a fresh cup of Burro Bueno Coffee. A dark roast works wonderfully for this recipe, offering a bold base to balance the sweetness of the peppermint and chocolate. Let the coffee cool completely.
-
Mix the mocha base: In a mixing glass, combine the cooled coffee, chocolate syrup, peppermint extract, and sugar or sweetener (if using). Stir until everything is well blended.
-
Build the drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour the peppermint mocha mixture over the ice.
-
Add the milk: Slowly pour in the milk to create a layered effect. Stir gently for an even blend of flavors.
-
Optional extras: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy or chocolate shavings on top for an extra festive touch.
