Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail

Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing your espresso or coffee according to your preferred method. Place a chocolate bar in a heatproof glass and pour the hot coffee over it to melt the chocolate, stirring gently until fully combined. Allow this rich mixture to cool completely for about 30 minutes to avoid melting the ice when served.

Step 2: Rim the Glass
For an elegant touch, take a second glass and dip its rim into melted chocolate, then roll it in crushed graham crackers. This step will provide a flavorful crust and enhance the overall presentation. Chill the rimmed glass in the refrigerator for 5–6 minutes to ensure the chocolate sets nicely.

Step 3: Prepare the Mocktail Base
In a cocktail shaker, combine the toasted marshmallow syrup and your choice of Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey or any alcohol alternative. Add a handful of ice and secure the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy and well-combined, releasing the sweet scent of toasted marshmallow, a key feature of Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail.

Step 4: Build the Drink
Retrieve your chilled glass and fill it halfway with ice cubes to create a refreshing base. Slowly pour in the cooled espresso mixture, allowing the chocolate-coffee synergy to showcase its rich color. Next, add some almond milk to create a creamy layer, followed by the contents from the shaker, gently mixing them together for a delightful blend.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
Now for the fun part! Top your Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail generously with toasted marshmallows. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top for added crunch and a visually stunning finish. Optionally, add some shaved chocolate for an extra touch of decadence, and serve your drink immediately.

Make Ahead Options

These Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktails are perfect for busy weeknights and gatherings! You can brew the espresso and mix it with the chocolate up to 24 hours ahead; just refrigerate this mixture once it’s cooled to prevent melting the ice. The toasted marshmallow syrup can be measured out and stored separately, ensuring it remains fresh and flavorful. When you’re ready to serve, simply rim your glass with melted chocolate and crushed graham crackers, assemble the drink by mixing it with ice, almond milk, and the syrup, then top with toasted marshmallows. This way, you’ll have a café-style treat ready in minutes, saving you time and hassle!
