Iced Orange Mochaccino
The Iced Orange Mochaccino is a refreshing and zesty twist on the classic coffee mocha. It combines the rich, bold flavors of espresso and chocolate with the bright, citrusy notes of orange. To create this drink, a mixture of chilled espresso and milk is blended with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, a splash of orange liqueur, and a hint of orange zest to lift the flavors. This concoction is then poured over ice and garnished with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. It's a perfect summertime beverage that offers a sophisticated balance of sweetness, bitterness, and a little bit of bite from the orange zest. Ideal for coffee lovers looking to enjoy a cool, indulgent treat that tantalizes the taste buds.
Welcome to a cozy corner of Noreen's Kitchen, where the holidays are upon us and comfort drinks warm the heart. Today, I'm presenting a delicious twist on a classic mochaccino with a vibrant citrus kick. This Orange Mochaccino Delight is reminiscent of childhood indulgence, inspired by those International coffees from General Mills. It's a luxurious and comforting beverage that's perfect for sipping on a chilly morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up during the festive season. So let's bring a little bit of that holiday magic into your mug with this simple yet scrumptious creation.
List of Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought hot cocoa mix
- 16 oz freshly brewed hot coffee
- 1 tsp good quality orange extract
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions:
1. Begin by selecting a large 16 oz mug for your mochaccino.
2. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite hot cocoa mix into the mug.
3. Carefully pour the freshly brewed hot coffee over the cocoa mix in the mug. Use a spatula to lift the coffee maker lid if needed to avoid spills, as per a helpful tip from a viewer.
4. Thoroughly stir the mixture to ensure the cocoa mix dissolves entirely into the coffee.
5. Add 1 teaspoon of good quality orange extract to the coffee and cocoa mix. Don't hesitate on the quantity; this is what imparts that luscious citrus flavor!
6. Give the mochaccino another good stir, blending the orange extract evenly throughout the drink.
7. Now for the grand finale: top your Orange Mochaccino Delight with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
8. Enjoy immediately, letting this festive concoction warm and invigorate your senses.
