- 2 tbsp (15 g) cocoa powder or 1 oz (30 g) melted dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) peppermint schnapps (or adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa, optional)

Instructions

2. Add the booze:
- Stir in the peppermint schnapps and coffee liqueur, if using. Add heavy cream or milk for extra richness, and sweeten to taste.
3. Garnish:

4. Serve:
- Serve immediately, sipping your way to holiday cheer!
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace peppermint schnapps with peppermint extract (start with 1/4 tsp and adjust to taste) and omit the coffee liqueur.
- Swap the heavy cream for dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk for a vegan version.
- Adjust the chocolate and peppermint proportions to suit your taste.
