FAQ's

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal way to serve a Peppermint Pattie cocktail?

The Peppermint Pattie cocktail is best served in an Irish glass, hot. To enhance the drinking experience, make sure the hot chocolate is steaming before adding the Peppermint Schnapps. Serve immediately to enjoy the mingling flavors of peppermint and chocolate.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute Peppermint Schnapps in a Peppermint Pattie with something else?

Yes, if Peppermint Schnapps is not available, you can substitute it with a mint-flavored liqueur or even a few drops of peppermint extract mixed with a clear spirit like vodka. Adjust the amount to taste, as these substitutes may vary in strength.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Peppermint Pattie cocktail?

Definitely. For a non-alcoholic Peppermint Pattie, simply omit the Peppermint Schnapps and add a few drops of peppermint extract to the hot chocolate. This will give you a similar flavor profile without the alcohol content.

Dietary considerations icon

Is the Peppermint Pattie cocktail suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

The suitability of the Peppermint Pattie for vegetarians depends largely on the hot chocolate used, as some may contain milk products. For vegans, ensure both the hot chocolate mix and the Peppermint Schnapps are dairy-free. Always check the product labels to be sure.
