Peppermint Mocha Martini Mocktail

The holiday season is full of flavors that evoke warmth and joy. Peppermint mocha is one of the most beloved seasonal favorites. Its combination of chocolate and mint signals celebration and indulgence. Many people enjoy peppermint mocha in coffee, hot chocolate, or desserts throughout the winter months.

During the holidays, alcohol often appears at gatherings and celebrations. For some, a cocktail is part of the festive experience. Others may be exploring the sober curious lifestyle or simply want to reduce their alcohol intake. A peppermint mocha martini mocktail is the perfect solution. It delivers the flavors of a holiday treat while keeping your body supported and your routine on track.

Peppermint Mocha

Peppermint mocha combines rich mocha chocolate with refreshing mint. This flavor pairing is naturally appealing during the holidays. In this recipe, I use Peppermint Mocha Paleo Protein, cocoa powder and peppermint extract to create the taste without artificial flavoring. Cocoa provides antioxidants that support overall wellness, and peppermint adds a bright, uplifting flavor. The result is a classic holiday taste in a clean, AIP-friendly way.

Peppermint Protein Powder

AMMD™’s Peppermint Mocha Paleo Protein is the star ingredient in this martini mocktail. Each scoop delivers 21 grams of clean, grass-fed, hydrolyzed beef collagen. Collagen supports skin elasticity, joint health, and healthy hair and nails. Unlike traditional protein powders that rely on dairy or soy, this Paleo-friendly option is free from common allergens and artificial additives.

The peppermint flavor is carefully blended with mocha to replicate the classic holiday drink you love. Peppermint is known for its digestive benefits, and when paired with the protein powder, it creates a nutrient-dense drink that supports energy and satiety. Using Peppermint protein powder in a mocktail ensures you get the indulgent seasonal flavor without added sugar or processed ingredients.

You can enjoy this protein powder not only in mocktails but also in smoothies, holiday shakes, or even in warm desserts. Its versatility makes it easy to incorporate into a healthy lifestyle during the busiest season of the year. 

Martini Mocktail

This martini mocktail uses coconut milk and coconut sugar to create a creamy, naturally sweet beverage. Coconut milk is rich in healthy fats that support energy and satiety. Coconut sugar provides a low-glycemic alternative to refined sugar. Together, they make this beverage smooth and indulgent while keeping it compliant with AIP and The Myers Way®. A rim of melted dairy-free chocolate with cocoa nibs, shredded chocolate, or coconut flakes adds a festive flair.

How To Make Peppermint Mocha Martini Mocktail

To prepare the martini glass, melt a tablespoon of dairy-free chocolate in a small bowl. Dip the rim of your favorite cocktail glass into the melted chocolate. Press the rim into cocoa nibs, shredded chocolate, or coconut flakes. Set aside to allow the chocolate to firm up.

In a blender, combine 1 and 1/3 cups of coconut milk, 2 scoops of Peppermint Mocha Paleo Protein, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar, and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Adjust the peppermint to taste. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glasses. Optionally, sprinkle a few cocoa nibs or coconut flakes on top for extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, holiday-inspired flavors.

This peppermint mocha martini mocktail delivers the taste of the season with the benefits of clean, nutrient-rich ingredients.
