This cool, fizzy drink is the kind of thing that feels like a treat but comes together in minutes with nothing more than a blender and a handful of pantry staples. The combination of rich cocoa, cool peppermint, and a hit of sparkling water creates something that tastes almost like a chocolate mint soda — refreshing, a little indulgent, and completely plant-based. Maple syrup brings a gentle, rounded sweetness that plays beautifully against the bittersweet cocoa, while that tiny pinch of salt quietly makes every other flavor pop. Blending the base first ensures the cocoa fully dissolves into a silky, streak-free mixture before the sparkling water ever touches it, so you get a smooth, even sip every time. Pouring the fizz slowly down the side of the glass keeps the bubbles alive, giving each glass a satisfying effervescence right up until the last sip. A few fresh mint leaves and a dusting of cocoa on top make it look like something you'd order at a café. It's a genuinely crowd-pleasing drink that happens to be completely free of any animal proteins — no fuss, no substitutions needed.

Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, peppermint extract, cold water, ice cubes, and salt to a blender. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined with no visible cocoa streaks.
Divide the blended mixture evenly between two tall glasses. Pour 1/2 cup of chilled sparkling water into each glass, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the fizz.
