Peppermint Mocha

Peppermint Mocha

Ingredients

Espresso-Infused CH Vodka

  • 1 cup espresso beans
  • 1 bottle of CH Vodka (750ml)

Vanilla Syrup

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a shaker, add ice and shake vigorously. Strain and pour in a cocktail glass. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Espresso-Infused CH Vodka

Toast espresso beans on foil-covered baking sheet for 3-5 minutes at 450 degrees F, until you smell the classic coffee aroma. Beans should look oily and dark brown, not black. Steep beans in vodka for 20 minutes and then strain.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water and sugar and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar fully dissolves. Split the Vanilla Bean, scrape the seeds and add the bean and seeds into the saucepan. Remove from heat. Steep for 30 minutes. Remove bean.

Notes:

We’re thrilled to have partnered with our friends at CH Distillery to develop this cocktail specifically for For The Love Of Chocolate, a fundraising event that raises money for scholarships for French Pastry School students. The artisans at CH Distillery, Chicago’s only combination working distillery and restaurant/bar, have refined the art and science of distillation, resulting in award-winning spirits, like its flagship CH Vodka.
