Cool, creamy, and topped with peppermint chaos — this Iced Peppermint Mocha is basically holiday dessert in a glass. Made with our Crazy Cups Peppermint Mocha Coffee Pod (which packs 30% more coffee than the average pod), this recipe brings rich chocolate and refreshing mint flavor to every sip. It’s everything cozy... but make it iced.

Ingredients
-
1 Crazy Cups Peppermint Chocolate Mocha Coffee (Regular or Decaf, Ground or Pod, we've got you covered!)

Ice cubes

Whipped cream

Chocolate syrup drizzle

Crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

Instructions
-
Brew It Cold:
Brew 1 Peppermint Mocha pod over 6 oz of ice. Let cool for 1–2 minutes for best flavor. -
Mix It Up:
In a separate glass or shaker, combine milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Shake or stir until frothy. -
Pour + Chill:
Fill a glass with fresh ice. Pour the brewed coffee over it, then add the milk mixture. -
Top with Holiday Cheer:
Add whipped cream, a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a crushed peppermint rim or topping. -
Serve Cold, Sip Bold:
Optional: cue the Mariah. Optional-er: spike it with a splash of peppermint liqueur (we won’t tell).
Tips & Variations
-
Make it dairy-free: Use coconut whipped cream and almond or oat milk
-
Turn it into a mocha frappe: Blend coffee, milk, and ice before topping
-
Extra fancy: Rim the glass with melted chocolate and dip into crushed peppermint
-
Skip the sweetener: The pod has flavor on its own, but sweet tooths are welcome
