Mint Mocha Cold Brew 🌿🍫🧊 Cool, Bold, and Laced With Chocolate-Mint Energy

The Mint Mocha Cold Brew blends chilled coffee intensity with rich chocolate and refreshing mint — smooth, slightly sweet, and made to wake up your senses without overheating your day.

It’s what a peppermint mocha would be if it dropped the whipped cream and got serious about flavor.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1 cup cold brew coffee (strong or concentrate-based)
• 2 tbsp milk or cream (oat, almond, or whole)
• 1–2 tsp chocolate syrup or 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tsp maple syrup
• ⅛ tsp peppermint extract (or 1 drop food-grade peppermint oil)
• Ice to fill your glass
• Optional: pinch of sea salt or vanilla extract
• Optional garnish: chocolate shavings, fresh mint, cocoa dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base

1. In a shaker or glass, stir cold brew with chocolate syrup (or cocoa + sweetener).
2. Add peppermint extract — go light; it’s potent.
3. Stir or shake until fully combined and smooth.

Step 2: Add Milk and Ice

1. Pour over a glass filled with ice.
2. Add milk or cream and stir for that swirl.
3. Garnish if you’re feeling fancy.

Step 3: Sip It Cold

• Taste and adjust sweetness or mint strength as needed.
• Drink chilled, or shake with ice for a frothy, café-style finish.

Flavor Variations

• Frozen Mint Mocha – Blend with ice and frozen banana for a smoothie version
• Vanilla Mint Mocha – Add a dash of vanilla to round it out
• Almond Joy Style – Use coconut milk + almond extract
• Iced Mint Mocha Latte – Add a shot of espresso over the top for layered visuals and flavor

Beer Twist (Optional)

• Mix ½ cold brew + ½ mint chocolate stout or milk stout for a minty beer-coffee hybrid
• Reduce chocolate porter with mint and sugar for a mint beer syrup drizzle
• Make a float: vanilla ice cream + mint mocha cold brew + splash of milk stout = dessert drink dream

Pro Tips

• Start light with the peppermint — too much and you’re in toothpaste territory
• Use dark chocolate syrup or high-fat cocoa for depth
• Pairs beautifully with biscotti, brownies, or anything nutty

Final Thoughts

Mint Mocha Cold Brew is clean, bold, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat — without losing its caffeine-forward edge. Whether you’re kicking off a crisp morning or winding down with something cool and smooth, this one’s always a fresh pour.

Cold brew meets cool mint. Chocolate finishes the deal. 🌿🍫🧊☕
