Ingredients
  

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, or your choice)

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons sugary peppermint syrup (store-bought or homemade)

1 oz peppermint schnapps

1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlua)

1 tablespoon whipped cream (for topping)

Crushed peppermint candies (for garnish)

Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Brew and Prepare Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee. Use a medium roast for that perfect balance of flavors.

    Heat Milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm up the milk until it’s hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

      Mix Cocoa and Syrup: In a separate cup, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder and peppermint syrup until you get a smooth paste.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mug, combine the hot brewed coffee with the cocoa mixture, stirring well to ensure it’s fully blended.

          Add Liqueurs: Pour in the peppermint schnapps and coffee liqueur, stirring gently to mix all the ingredients.

            Froth Milk: Use a milk frother or whisk to froth the heated milk until it’s light and airy. You can also use a blender for this if you prefer.

              Assemble the Drink: Slowly pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture in your mug, allowing it to float on top.

                Top it Off: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top, then sprinkle crushed peppermint candies and a light dusting of cocoa powder for added flavor and festive flair.

                  Serve: Enjoy your boozy peppermint mocha warm during chilly evenings or as a delightful holiday treat!
