You Need

Servings

1.5 ounce Tequila (100% agave, or clear alcohol of your choice)
1.5 tablespoon Cacao powder (Different from cocoa powder, see notes)
¹⁄₄ plus 1 tablespoon cup Water
¹⁄₈ teaspoon Pure peppermint extract (Not peppermint flavor, see notes)
3-4 teaspoons Maple syrup (More or less to taste)

Method

- Combine the cacao powder with 1 tablespoon of warm water. Whisk to combine, until there are no lumps.
- In a mason jar with lid or cocktail shaker add all ingredients. Shake to combine.
- Add ice, and shake vigorously.
- This makes about 4-5 small shots.
Peppermint flavor is not the same thing as peppermint extract. Flavorings, (vanilla flavor, peppermint flavor, etc) have artificial ingredients and additives. Pure extracts are pure. Peppermint extract contains only peppermint, and alcohol.

Note

To make this into a drink instead of a shot, double all ingredients except for the alcohol. Serve in a tall glass with lots of ice!
