Candy cane flavor is pure holiday magic—sweet peppermint with a festive twist that brings joy to every cup. Our small-batch Candy Cane coffee captures this seasonal delight with notes of cool peppermint and sweet vanilla that create a cheerful, celebratory coffee experience.

We've created three festive recipes that showcase candy cane's holiday spirit, from a classic mocha to a white chocolate variation.

1. Candy Cane Mocha

What You'll Need:

• 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong-brewed Candy Cane coffee
• 1 cup steamed milk
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate sauce
• 2 tablespoons peppermint syrup
• Whipped cream
• Crushed candy canes
• Whole candy cane for stirring
• Chocolate drizzle

Method:

Combine dark chocolate sauce and peppermint syrup in your mug. Add freshly brewed espresso or coffee and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Pour in steamed milk, creating a rich, velvety texture. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then drizzle with chocolate sauce. Sprinkle crushed candy canes over the whipped cream and add a whole candy cane as a festive stirrer. This drink is a holiday classic—rich chocolate meets cool peppermint in perfect harmony.

2. Iced Candy Cane Latte with Peppermint Rim

• Ice
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons peppermint syrup
• Crushed candy canes for rim
• Peppermint cream (heavy cream + peppermint extract)

Method:

Create a festive rim by moistening the edge of a tall glass and dipping it in crushed candy canes. Fill the glass with ice. Mix cooled Candy Cane coffee with milk and peppermint syrup, then pour over ice. For the peppermint cream, whisk together 1/4 cup heavy cream with 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until slightly thickened. Gently pour the peppermint cream over the iced latte. For extra festivity, add red and white sprinkles on top. This drink is refreshing, festive, and perfect for holiday celebrations.
