Cool, fizzy, and deeply chocolatey, this peppermint cocoa spritz is the kind of drink that feels indulgent without requiring any actual effort. The base comes together in a blender — just cocoa powder, maple syrup, peppermint extract, a pinch of salt, and cold water blended until silky smooth — then gets topped with chilled sparkling water for a satisfying effervescent lift. Pouring the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass keeps every sip lively and bubbly rather than flat. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of any flour or grain-based ingredients, so there's nothing to second-guess on the label. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which makes it a genuinely stress-free treat. Finish it with a few fresh mint leaves and a dusting of cocoa powder and it looks almost too pretty to drink — almost.
