Description

A delightful fusion of rich cold brew coffee, velvety chocolate, and refreshing peppermint, all crowned with creamy ice cream for a festive and indulgent coffee float.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz cold brew coffee
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (or to taste)
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Crushed candy cane or mint chocolates (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Drizzle chocolate syrup inside a tall glass and pour in the cold brew.
  2. Stir in peppermint extract until well mixed.
  3. Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  4. Top with whipped cream if desired.
  5. Drizzle extra chocolate syrup on top and sprinkle with crushed candy cane or mint chocolates.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw and long spoon.

Notes

  • For a stronger mocha flavor, add a shot of espresso or more chocolate syrup.
  • Adjust peppermint extract to taste—start small to avoid overpowering the drink.
  • Use non-dairy ice cream and cold brew for a vegan version.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm holiday twist.
  • Mix cold brew and flavorings ahead and refrigerate for easy float prep.
