Peppermint mocha is such a nostalgic flavor for me. When I was in high school and college, ordering a Peppermint Mocha from a *certain major coffee chain* would always mark the beginning of the holidays. I’d sip on it while shopping for Christmas gifts or driving around and looking at lights.
It’s been a while since I’ve done that, but one sip of this Peppermint Mocha Martini took me right back. It perfectly captures the delicious coffee/chocolate/peppermint combo I love so much in cocktail form. It’s a sweet and indulgent drink that would be a wonderful addition to your next holiday party!
The secret ingredient in this one is Mozart Chocolate Coffee liqueur. Like their Chocolate Cream liqueur, Mozart’s Chocolate Coffee is a creamy, decadent dessert liqueur flavored with Belgian chocolate and Arabica coffee. If you like coffee and chocolate, it is an absolute treat. You can find it on ReserveBar.com and at Total Wine & More.
