Garnishing
- Pour the peppermint mocha into a festive mug. Let it settle for a moment so the steam carries the peppermint aroma upward.
- Top with whipped cream, creating a layer that gently melts into the drink. Sprinkle crushed candy canes, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips on top for added texture and holiday flair.
- Add a peppermint stick or mini candy cane for stirring. As it melts slightly, it deepens the minty flavor with each sip.
Serving Tip
Serve hot and enjoy immediately. The warmth helps the chocolate and peppermint aromas open up, making each sip cozy and festive. This delightful drink pairs perfectly with holiday cookies, snowy mornings, or evenings spent by the tree.
