Ingredients
Scale
Mocha Base
- 1-2 shots of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee concentrate
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk)
- 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (adjust to taste)
- Sweetener to taste (optional: honey, sugar, or sugar substitute)
Mix-ins and Garnish
- 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Espresso: Brew a shot or two of espresso using your preferred method, or prepare a strong coffee concentrate if espresso is unavailable. Allow the espresso to cool slightly to avoid melting the ice quickly and diluting the drink.
- Mix Mocha: In a shaker or large glass, combine the cooled espresso with chocolate syrup and your choice of milk. Stir or shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble Drink: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes. Add a generous amount of crushed Oreos, reserving some for garnish. Pour the mocha mixture over the ice and Oreos, allowing the cookie pieces to disperse throughout the drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the mocktail with the remaining crushed Oreos and, if desired, a swirl of whipped cream. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy both the creamy texture and the Oreo crunch.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk like oat or almond milk for a vegan option.
- Adjust chocolate syrup and sweetener quantities according to your taste preference.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use two shots of espresso.
- Chill the glass beforehand for an extra cold beverage.
- Whipped cream garnish is optional but adds extra creaminess and indulgence.
