Ingredients
Scale
Espresso Mixture
- 1-2 shots freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee concentrate
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk)
- 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (adjust to taste)
- Sweetener to taste (optional: honey, sugar, or sugar substitute)
Additional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Espresso: Brew a shot or two of espresso using your preferred method, or prepare a strong coffee concentrate if espresso is unavailable. Allow the espresso to cool slightly to avoid melting the ice too quickly and diluting the drink.
- Combine Ingredients: In a shaker or large glass, mix the cooled espresso with chocolate syrup and your choice of milk. Stir or shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes. Add a generous amount of crushed Oreos, reserving some for garnishing later. Pour the mocha mixture over the ice and Oreos, allowing the cookie pieces to settle throughout the drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the mocktail with the remaining crushed Oreos and optionally add a swirl of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the creamy texture combined with cookie crunch.
Notes
- Use espresso or strong coffee concentrate depending on your preference and availability.
- Adjust the chocolate syrup and sweetener to taste to control the sweetness level.
- Plant-based milks like oat or almond milk work well for a dairy-free version.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the Oreo crunch before it softens.
- Whipped cream garnish is optional but adds extra richness.
