Here’s everything you’ll need to make this indulgent peppermint mocha recipe:
Irish coffee is a classic cocktail that combines hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and cream for a warm and cozy drink. Originating in Ireland, it’s a favorite for chilly days and holiday celebrations. This Peppermint Mocha Irish Coffee takes the original up a notch by adding a chocolatey, minty twist that makes it perfect for the festive season.
A peppermint mocha is a beloved seasonal coffee drink that blends espresso, steamed milk, chocolate syrup, and a touch of peppermint. Sweet, creamy, and bursting with holiday flavor, it’s a wintertime staple. By merging this classic with Irish coffee, you get a cozy cocktail that’s both nostalgic and indulgent!
This peppermint mocha coffee is as easy to make as it is to drink!
Defrost and warm your Blendtopia superfood latte pack in the microwave or put it in some hot water until soft. If you’re using espresso, brew a shot and sweeten it to taste.
In your favorite mug, combine the latte base, Irish whiskey, and peppermint schnapps (or peppermint extract). Stir until well mixed.
Pour in the coconut milk for a creamy, velvety texture.
Top with dairy-free whipped cream, sprinkle with crushed candy cane, and serve immediately.
Yes! This recipe uses a coffee base, so it’s caffeinated and perfect for an energizing holiday pick-me-up.
Absolutely! Simply omit the Irish whiskey and use peppermint extract for a festive, kid-friendly version.
Place candy canes in a ziplock bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin for the perfect garnish.
Of course! If you’re not dairy-free, feel free to use regular milk or cream for the base.
You’ll love this Peppermint Mocha Irish Coffee for its festive flavors that blend rich chocolate, refreshing peppermint, and smooth whiskey—it’s like Christmas in a mug! Perfect for chilly winter evenings, this cozy cocktail warms you from head to toe.
