Ingredients & Equipment

To start, the base of the drink is brewed coffee—strong, flavorful, and frozen into ice cubes. Using frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice is a game changer. It keeps the drink cold and slushy without watering down the mocha flavor. It’s best to use a bold roast or espresso if you want that deep, rich coffee taste to shine through.

Next comes the milk. You can use whatever kind you prefer—whole milk gives it a creamy texture, but almond, oat, or even coconut milk work beautifully if you’re going for dairy-free. Just keep in mind that the creamier the milk, the smoother the blend.

Sugar is optional depending on your sweet tooth. A tablespoon or two will do, but if you’re using sweetened chocolate syrup or flavored milk, you might not need any at all. Speaking of chocolate syrup, this is what brings in that mocha magic. Go for a good-quality syrup or even make your own if you want to control the richness and sweetness.

Topping it all off with whipped cream is what makes this drink feel like a café-style treat. A swirl on top adds a little indulgence and makes the whole thing feel extra special. If you’re feeling fancy, a sprinkle of chocolate chips or shavings takes it to the next level. They add just a little crunch and that final chocolatey touch.

As for equipment, all you really need is a blender—nothing high-tech, just something strong enough to crush the frozen coffee cubes into a smooth, icy blend. A spoon and a tall glass finish the job. That’s it—simple, satisfying, and so worth it.
