Description

This Boozy Peppermint Mocha Coffee combines rich chocolate, cool peppermint, and a touch of your favorite spirit for the ultimate cozy holiday drink. Perfect for warming up during the festive season or serving as an after-dinner treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed coffee
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) cocoa powder or 1 oz (30 g) melted dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) peppermint schnapps (or adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa, optional)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) heavy cream or milk (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1–2 tsp (5–10 g) granulated sugar or sweetener (optional)

For garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the mocha base:

  • In a mug, whisk the cocoa powder (or melted chocolate) with a splash of the hot coffee until smooth. Add the remaining coffee and stir to combine.

2. Add the booze:

  • Stir in the peppermint schnapps and coffee liqueur, if using. Add heavy cream or milk for extra richness, and sweeten to taste.

3. Garnish:

  • Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder for a festive touch.

4. Serve:

  • Serve immediately, sipping your way to holiday cheer!

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace peppermint schnapps with peppermint extract (start with 1/4 tsp and adjust to taste) and omit the coffee liqueur.
  • Swap the heavy cream for dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the chocolate and peppermint proportions to suit your taste.
