Peppermint Mocha Frappe-Style Drink sits right where American coffeehouse culture meets dessert. Holiday coffee culture. Blended coffee drinks grew out of cafe chains, mall counters, college-town coffee shops, and drive-through windows, turning caffeine into something cold, sweet, and celebratory. Serve it when a plain cup of coffee is not enough of an occasion.
