Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

By / Wine + Drinks / May 31st, 2012 / 1

The second is Peppermint Mocha from Kahlúa, whose coffee liqueur has been delighting tipplers around the world since 1936. 100% Arabica coffee beans shade-grown in the Veracruz region of Mexico combined with peppermint dark chocolate derived from the finest cocoa beans. True to its name, it’s a minty mouthful with a chocolate undertone.

It’s very well balanced and you don’t think you have just had a shot of mouthwash. This is the stuff with which to spike your hot chocolate or whip up a decadent coffee cocktail. It might just replace grappa in my espresso.
