Iced Peppermint Mocha
Now on to my favorite drink on the entire menu. The very first drink I ever got from Starbucks: the Peppermint Mocha. While technically this drink is only available during the holiday season, there is a way around it. Start with a basic Iced Caffe Mocha (espresso, bittersweet mocha sauce, milk, and ice topped with whipped cream). Then all you have to do is tell the barista to add six pumps of peppermint syrup to turn this favorite winter treat into a summer one.
Enjoy!
