Make a rich, cold mocha at home using brewed coffee or espresso. This recipe is quick and easy for a refreshing chocolate coffee drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso, cooled
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or 1 tablespoon cocoa powder mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. If using cocoa powder, mix the cocoa powder and sugar with a small amount of hot coffee until a smooth paste forms. If using syrup, skip this step.
  2. In a glass or shaker, combine the cooled coffee (or espresso), milk, chocolate mixture (or syrup), and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir or shake well until the chocolate is fully dissolved and mixed.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  5. Pour the mocha mixture over the ice.
  6. Stir briefly before drinking. For a blended version, combine all liquid ingredients and ice in a blender and process until smooth.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free or vegan mocha, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Use strong coffee or espresso for the best flavor balance against the chocolate.
  • Adjust the amount of chocolate syrup or cocoa mixture to control sweetness and richness.
  • If you want a thicker, frappe-style drink, use less milk and more ice, then blend thoroughly.
