The answer can’t involve Starbucks. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy their peppermint mocha, but we have a plethora of cafes here in C-U that offer up their own version, as well as other peppermint-y delights. I am going to make it my mission to sample them over the next couple of weeks. Here is what’s on my list:

I actually tried this for the first time last year. The crushed candies are an excellent addition. They also have a chai with white chocolate and peppermint on the menu.

I typcially don’t go for white chocolate, but this is certainly intriguing.

Again, the crushed candy canes are a big sell for me. Also, it’s Owner Days at the Co-op this week so I can grab a tasty beverage and some good Co-op deals.

Is that cocoa powder sprinkled on top? Heck yes.
What am I missing? Who has your favorite peppermint drink?
