Peppermint mocha cocktail
This peppermint mocha cocktail brings all the cozy, festive flavor of your favorite seasonal coffee—but let's add vodka! Made with Atomic Black, vodka, chocolate syrup, and a dash of peppermint extract, it’s bold, rich, and refreshingly cool.
Less sweet than a dessert martini but more indulgent than your average coffee cocktail, this peppermint mocha espresso martini riff is perfect for holiday parties or winter nights when you want something fun, frothy, and full of character.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Atomic Black
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 0.5 oz chocolate syrup
- 1-2 dashes peppermint extract
- whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy for garnish
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. That’s 1.5 oz Atomic Black coffee liqueur, 1.5 oz vodka, 0.5 oz chocolate syrup, and 1–2 dashes of peppermint extract (a little goes a long way).
2. Shake hard for 20+ seconds. This ensures everything’s fully integrated—especially the syrup, and gives the drink that rich, velvety texture.
3. Strain into a chilled double rocks glass filled with fresh ice. The ice keeps the flavors bright and helps balance the sweetness, especially with the chocolate and peppermint in play.
4. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy. Is it over the top? Maybe... but in the best way. The garnish adds texture, aroma, and that unmistakable peppermint mocha vibe.
