Chocolate Mint Refresher

If your afternoon iced coffee could use a serious upgrade, start here.

Cold brewed coffee gets blended with creme de cacao for chocolate depth, white creme de menthe for a cool mint kick, and a generous pour of half-and-half for richness.

Blitz it all until frothy, pour over ice, and you’ve got four tall glasses of something that splits the difference between a coffee shop drink and a cocktail.

It’s refreshing enough for a hot afternoon and indulgent enough to close out a dinner party.

Variations

• Frozen version: Add a cup of ice to the blender and blend until slushy for a frozen coffee cocktail.
• Non-alcoholic: Replace the liqueurs with 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and a quarter teaspoon of peppermint extract stirred into the coffee before blending.
• Mocha boost: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the blender for an even richer chocolate punch.
