Mocha — Espresso plus chocolate plus steamed milk — coffee and hot cocoa in one cup.
What’s in a Mocha
1–2 shots espresso + 1–2 tbsp chocolate syrup or ganache + 6–8 oz steamed milk, often with whipped cream.
How it tastes
Sweet, rich, and dessert-like. The chocolate softens espresso’s bitterness.
Good to know
A gateway drink for people who “don’t like coffee” — the chocolate does a lot of friendly work.
