The drink is made with hand-pulled espresso blended with steamed milk before being mixed with unsweetened Dutch cocoa, chocolate and a touch of sweet citrus. The drink comes toped with a sizable serving of whipped cream on top along with a dusting of cocoa for a perfectly balanced hot beverage to try out this season in place of the traditional options. The Peet’s Coffee Dark Chocolate Orange Mocha has been launched alongside new Etoile single-origin coffees that can be picked up from a participating coffee bar.
