1. Can I make this Boozy Peppermint Mocha Coffee without alcohol?

Yes, you can easily make this peppermint mocha coffee without the alcohol. Simply skip the creme de menthe and chocolate liquor, and instead use peppermint syrup and chocolate syrup to capture the same festive flavors. It's just as delicious and perfect for those who prefer a non-alcoholic version.

2. Can I substitute the cream with a non-dairy option?

Absolutely! If you're looking for a dairy-free version, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream, almond milk, or oat milk. These non-dairy options will still provide the creamy texture and rich flavor you're looking for.

3. How do I make this drink stronger or sweeter?

If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can adjust the coffee-to-water ratio when brewing or add a little more of the creme de menthe or chocolate liquor. To make it sweeter, increase the sugar or add flavored syrups like chocolate or peppermint syrup to taste.
