After Dinner

I think when it comes to the Starbucks seasonal drinks, fall is my favorite season for them. That pumpkin cream cold brew is exceptional. I love the Christmas drinks too, at least in theory - as someone who only orders sweet coffee drinks on the rarest of occasions, most of them are too sweet for me. But I DO love their peppermint mocha (preferably iced). Here’s that, but boozy.

Editor's Note

A boozy, elevated take on the classic holiday mocha. Espresso and chocolate liqueur provide the depth, while peppermint schnapps adds a crisp, seasonal finish.

This sounds like the perfect festive treat! I love the idea of using high-quality coffee and chocolate liqueurs to elevate the classic peppermint mocha profile.
