Ingredients

  • 1-2 shots of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee concentrate
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk)
  • 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Sweetener to taste (optional: honey, sugar, or sugar substitute)
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew a shot or two of espresso using your preferred method, or prepare a strong coffee concentrate if espresso isn’t available. Allow the espresso to cool slightly to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
  2. Step 2: In a shaker or large glass, combine the cooled espresso with chocolate syrup and your choice of milk. Stir or shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes. Add a generous amount of crushed Oreos, reserving some for the garnish.
  4. Step 4: Pour the mocha mixture over the ice and Oreos, letting the cookie pieces settle throughout the drink.
  5. Step 5: Top the mocktail with the remaining crushed Oreos and, if desired, a swirl of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Tips & Variations

  • Use chilled espresso or coffee concentrate for a colder drink that stays refreshing longer.
  • Try flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel to add a twist to the mocha base.
  • For a dairy-free version, coconut or oat milk adds creaminess and complements the chocolate well.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of peppermint extract for seasonal flavor variations.

Storage

This mocktail is best enjoyed immediately to experience the creamy texture and crunchy Oreos. If needed, you can prepare the mocha base in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Assemble with ice and cookies just before serving. Leftover mocktail is not recommended to store after adding ice.

How to Serve

A clear glass holds a layered dessert with four visible layers. The bottom layer is dark chocolate with a shiny, smooth texture. Above it is a thick, creamy light beige layer that looks soft. Next is a medium brown coffee-like layer that gently blends into the creamy layer below. On top is a thick swirl of white whipped cream sprinkled with dark chocolate crumbs. One large, round, dark chocolate cookie is placed standing inside the whipped cream on the right side. The glass is set on a white marbled textured surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, you can substitute strong brewed coffee for espresso. Just make sure it’s concentrated enough to retain the bold flavor when mixed with milk and chocolate.

What if I don’t have Oreo cookies on hand?

Any chocolate sandwich cookie or even crushed chocolate chip cookies can be used as a substitute. They provide a similar crunch and chocolate flavor to complement the mocha.

Ingredients

Scale

Espresso Mixture

  • 12 shots of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee concentrate
  • 23 tablespoons chocolate syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk)
  • Sweetener to taste (optional: honey, sugar, or sugar substitute)

Crunch and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Espresso: Brew 1-2 shots of espresso using your preferred method or make a strong coffee concentrate if espresso is not available. Allow the espresso to cool slightly to prevent excessive melting of ice that would dilute the drink.
  2. Mix the Mocha Base: In a shaker or large glass, combine the cooled espresso with chocolate syrup and your choice of milk. Add sweetener if desired. Stir or shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Ice and Oreos: Fill a serving glass halfway with ice cubes. Layer in 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies, reserving some for garnish. Pour the mocha mixture over the ice and Oreos, allowing cookie pieces to disperse throughout the drink.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Top the mocktail with the remaining crushed Oreos and, if preferred, a swirl of whipped cream. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the creamy texture and cookie crunch.

Notes

  • Adjust chocolate syrup and sweetener to suit your personal taste preferences.
  • Use plant-based milk alternatives for a dairy-free or vegan option.
  • Let the espresso cool to prevent the ice from melting too quickly and watering down the drink.
  • Serve immediately to preserve the texture of the crushed Oreos and the creaminess of the mocktail.
  • For extra texture, pulse Oreos in a food processor for a finer or coarser crunch as desired.
