FAQs
What is in an iced peppermint mocha?
An iced peppermint mocha is made with Cumulus Dark Chocolate Syrup, Holiday Blend cold brew, and ice, topped with whipped cream, chocolate flakes or sauce, and crushed candy cane.
Where does the peppermint flavor come from?
The crushed candy cane on top. It adds cool peppermint and a little crunch to every sip. For more peppermint throughout, stir a few pieces into the drink before adding whipped cream.
Can I make an iced peppermint mocha dairy-free?
Yes. Swap the whipped cream for a coconut or oat-based whipped topping, and check that your chocolate garnish is dairy-free.
Do I need a special capsule for cold brew?
No. Cumulus brews nitro, cold brew, and chilled espresso from the same capsule. Just select the Still setting.
