Sip #10: Peppermint Mocha Frappe

Cool, Creamy, and Festive — A Refreshing Fall Favourite

As autumn begins to tiptoe toward the holiday season, there’s a special kind of magic in the air — the sparkle of frosty mornings, the scent of cocoa and peppermint, and the cozy anticipation of what’s to come. The Peppermint Mocha Frappe is the perfect bridge between fall and winter — cool, creamy, and delightfully refreshing, yet still full of that comforting coffee warmth we crave this time of year.

It’s the ideal afternoon pick-me-up for those warmer fall days when you’re not quite ready to let go of iced drinks, but you still want a hint of festive flavor in every sip.

Indulgent peppermint frappes topped with whipped cream and candy cane pieces, served alongside cocoa powder on a rustic wooden table.

Recipe

To create this frosty delight, you’ll need:

• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled: Choose a smooth, balanced roast to complement the sweetness of the mocha and peppermint. Let it chill for at least 10–15 minutes before blending.

• ½ cup milk: Any milk works beautifully here — dairy adds creaminess, while oat or almond milk brings a subtle nutty undertone.

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder: The foundation of your mocha flavor — rich, chocolatey, and perfectly indulgent.

• ½ tsp peppermint extract: A little goes a long way! It adds that crisp, refreshing twist that makes every sip feel festive.

• Ice cubes: Enough to give your frappe that irresistible frothy, frozen texture.

How to Make It:

1. Combine cooled coffee, milk, cocoa powder, peppermint extract, and ice in a blender.

2. Blend until smooth and frothy.

3. Swirl chocolate sauce inside your glass before pouring to add a café-style touch.

4. Optional: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy cane for extra holiday cheer.

✨ Cozy Tip: Want to take it up a notch? Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a spoonful of peppermint whipped cream for a festive twist. This frappe is perfect for sipping on a sunny fall afternoon while planning your holiday to-do list or watching the leaves dance outside.
