Polar Bear

Mint and chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations. When I spotted a recipe for a boozy coffee drink using both of those flavors I had to try it. The thing is, because math is not my strong suit, I ended up doubling the called for quantities when it came to the crème de cacao and peppermint schnapps, which ended up being a rather happy mistake, I can tell you. This is so good! If you’re looking for a way to stay warm this winter, this will do it.
Polar Bear

1½ oz. peppermint schnapps
1½ oz. white crème de cacao
4 oz. espresso
Whipped cream
Cocoa powder

While you’re brewing the espresso, pour your liquor into an Irish coffee glass. Get a festive one like I have, you can find them here. Once the coffee has brewed, pour it over the liquor, spritz on some cream, and dust with cocoa powder.

This looks quite tasty. I used my Irish coffee mug last night for tea with Bailey's - it was excellent.
