Run through a blender on medium speed and divided among tall or smaller glasses, it is light at around 70 calories per serving and free of any spirit. Its appeal rests entirely on the well-loved interplay of chocolate and mint.

History & Origins
Chocolate-mint as a flavor combination has deep roots in European confectionery, with the pairing appearing in English peppermint confectionery as far back as the 19th century. Non-alcoholic blended drinks using mint and chocolate syrup became popular in American ice cream parlors and soda fountains in the mid-20th century. This specific recipe represents a simple home-blended version of that tradition.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet milk chocolate and cool peppermint, an inviting and familiar combination. Palate: Smooth and creamy, with the chocolate syrup's sweetness and cocoa depth offset by the mint syrup's cool herbal freshness; the milk provides a rich, dairy base. Finish: Cool, minty, and sweet with a lingering chocolate warmth.
Pro Tip
Blend on medium-high speed until very frothy and serve immediately in a chilled glass; garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for an aromatic presentation.
