How to Make a Peppermint Mocha

What better way to start a cold winter day than with a cup full of Peppermint Mocha?!?  Our Premium Peppermint Syrup added the perfect touch of minty cool peppermint to this irresistible pick me up.

This indulgent holiday favorite combines the refreshing coolness of peppermint with the deep, luxurious richness of dark chocolate for a coffeehouse classic you can make at home. The smooth espresso balances the sweet flavors perfectly, while steamed milk creates that silky, café-quality texture. Top it with a cloud of whipped cream and crushed candy canes for a festive presentation that tastes as good as it looks.

No espresso machine? No problem. Strong brewed coffee works perfectly, making this mocha easy for any home barista to enjoy!
