![]() ![]() I'll even give you a hint of what we're tackling next: It starts with "chocolate" and ends with "pop rocks." If that doesn't have you coming back for a refill, I don't know what will. ![]() Four sporks out of five.Īnd anti-coffee folks, I promise the next review will be in a different field. Unfortunately I'm going to have to dock a point for the sub-par finish. Most of this drink was delicious, so it's certainly worthy of a high rating. I'd recommend sticking to the top 3/4 of the cup. It was a little overpower for my taste, however. Froth milk and peppermint syrup together using a milk frother or other method of choice (see post above for more info). If you're a gung-ho fan of the sweet and salty flavor combination, you might find the bottom enjoyable. This is a little surprising - I expected mint at the dregs, not sodium. As a result, the bottom of the cup tasted distinctly of salt. Flavored syrups tend to sink to the bottom, and the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha follows this rule.
