Marshmallow Mocha Americano
A decadent twist on the classic Americano, blending rich espresso with velvety marshmallow and mocha flavors.
Craving a coffee that's both indulgent and refreshing? Meet the Marshmallow Mocha Americano! This luxurious beverage takes the bold simplicity of an Americano and elevates it with the sweet, creamy notes of marshmallow and the rich depth of chocolate.
Inspired by the beloved campfire treat s'mores, this drink combines a double shot of espresso with a homemade marshmallow syrup and a touch of premium cocoa. The result is then diluted with hot water, creating a perfectly balanced Americano that can be enjoyed hot or poured over ice for a refreshing summer treat. We use a medium-dark roast coffee, ground fine for espresso, to provide a robust base that stands up to the sweet flavors without being overpowered.
