Our vegan version of this coffee drink is a creamy and delicious take on the traditional cocktail made from cream, coffee liqueur, and vodka. We replace the dairy cream with sweet, velvety coconut milk. A sprinkling of crushed peppermint candy on the chocolate dipped rim of our adorable Zen’s glasses adds a hint of mint flavor, without being overpowering.
