Taste- 4

There’s nothing better than the warm taste of a chocolate beverage in the winter. With a rich chocolate base, including the refreshing taste of peppermint and a small hint of espresso, the Peppermint Mocha is delicious. These two flavors blend perfectly with the mocha, adding a little bit of caffeine to this delicious holiday special.

Price- 2

This tasty treat tends to be on the expensive side, however you are paying for the quality. The typical size, grande, is $4.95 plus tax. Although this is steep for a medium size coffee, the quality and overall exciting flavors of the drink are well worth the price.

Look-5

While Starbucks does not offer mugs that are meant for in-store use, you can still see the perfected drink if you lift up the lid of their signature Red Cup. The Peppermint Mocha is topped with a small swirl of whipped cream, little chocolate chips sprinkled over the top, and finally a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Holiday Feeling- 4

Just one whiff of this drink will have you dreaming of snowy days of winter and leave you with a happy holiday feeling. The refreshing taste of peppermint only adds to the magical Christmas feel you get when drinking this beverage.
