Seed Oil Free Peppermint Cocoa Spritz
Cool, chocolatey, and refreshing in a way that feels almost indulgent, this minty sparkling drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat. It comes together in a blender in under a minute, which makes it perfect for a quick afternoon treat or a fun mocktail moment at a dinner party. The ingredient list is beautifully clean — just cocoa powder, maple syrup, peppermint extract, sparkling water, and a pinch of salt — so there's nothing hidden to worry about, no refined oils lurking in a flavored syrup or store-bought mix. That tiny pinch of salt is a quiet hero here, rounding out the chocolate and making the peppermint pop in the best way. Pouring the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass keeps every sip lively and fizzy rather than flat. Finish it with a few fresh mint leaves and a dusting of cocoa and it looks genuinely stunning with almost zero extra effort.
