Ingredients for Peppermint Mocha Irish Coffee

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this indulgent peppermint mocha recipe:

• Blendtopia superfood latte pack: This ready-made latte base not only delivers a rich coffee flavor but also packs a punch with adaptogens and superfood benefits, giving this cocktail a wholesome twist. It’s perfect for creating a velvety mocha base without needing extra brewing or mixing. If unavailable, a shot of espresso will work beautifully as a substitute.
• Peppermint schnapps or peppermint extract: The secret to that refreshing holiday flavor! Peppermint schnapps adds a boozy, minty kick, while peppermint extract offers a non-alcoholic option that’s just as festive. It’s the essential ingredient for giving this drink its signature wintertime charm.
• Irish whiskey: Smooth and warming, Irish whiskey brings depth and a touch of caramel sweetness to this cocktail. Its balanced flavor perfectly complements the mocha and peppermint, making it the ideal spirit for cozy holiday drinks.
• Coconut milk: This creamy, dairy-free alternative creates a luscious texture while keeping the drink light and velvety. The subtle coconut flavor adds a unique twist to the classic mocha base. If you prefer a richer texture, swap coconut milk for coconut cream or use regular milk if dairy isn’t an issue.
• Crushed candy cane: A festive garnish that adds both texture and sweetness. The crunch of crushed candy canes not only looks beautiful but also enhances the peppermint flavor, making every sip feel like a holiday celebration.
• Dairy-free whipped topping: Optional but also a must! This drink is perfected with a finishing touch of fluffy, light, creaminess. It’s also the perfect base for sprinkling crushed candy canes. Regular whipped cream works just as well for those who don’t need a dairy-free option.
