Listen, ya'll. This drink is one that I'm so excited to share with you. If you're into creamier, decadent drinks--this one is for you! My Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail is like a delicious chocolatey fusion of my Espresso Martini Mocktail meets S’Mores Overnight Oats inspired by my love for all things from childhood-----S'Mores to be exact! It's the perfect blend of sweetness and that comforting toasty coffee and marshmallow aroma that hits just right.
This mocktail is basically a slightly fancy + chilled version of a Starbuck's S'Mores Frappuccino without the frostiness. Now, I'm not big on alcohol and typically lean towards mocktails, but I made sure that there's an option to add it for those who don't mind it by opting in for chocolate liqueur and Kahlúa and your choice of alcohol.
You can totally switch things up and go caffeine-free with decaf coffee in this recipe too. It's a game-changer, making this S'Mores coffee mocktail accessible to everyone, minus the buzz. And the best part? With just a few ingredients and a bit of shaking (my favorite part, Haha), it's ready to enjoy in just 10 minutes.
If you're into chocolate and love trying out new ways to incorporate it, you've gotta give these a shot next: Chocolate Espresso Ice Cream, Best Vegan Chocolate Cake, Maple Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, Chocolate Oreo Skillet Brownie, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes, and Chocolate Chip Chia Seed Muffins.
This Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail recipe is seriously so easy! It only takes 10 minutes of prep time. The first step is to make your freshly brewed espresso or coffee atop a piece of chocolate bar (I'm so obsessed with my Breville machine these days) and let everything cool completely for a nice smooth taste.
Then it's as simple as combining all the mocktail ingredients in a cocktail shaker, including some of the ice. Shake it up vigorously until everything's mixed + frothy. Then go ahead and pour the syrup mixture into your favorite cocktail or martini glass. If you like, top it off with toasted marshmallows, Graham crackers, or some shaved chocolate. Feel free to get creative with your favorite garnishes!

Making my Hubby’s Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail right is super easy to achieve, especially when you follow these tips that I can guarantee will help you get it right:
Absolutely! If you’d like to switch things up with the type of plant-based milk that you use—–that’s totally fine! The world of plant-based milk is constantly expanding. From the classics like coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk and almond milk, we now have delicious options like oat milk, and even potato and quinoa milk.

If you’d like to serve this as a cocktail, you can add your favorite alcohol to the mixture. The best alcohol for a classic coffee cocktails is Kahlúa or a Cream Liqueur, which is a adds a great creaminess----making it perfect for more savory, rustic drinks. As I stated before, Ritual Zero Proof has delicious alcohol alternatives to bring this drink together. However, these other types of alcohols (just about 1 ounce or so) can work great with this Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail flavor combo also:
One of the greatest phenomenons when it comes to ice cubes has been seeing super clear ice cubes from those clear ice cube systems or molds and wanting to try it, but not necessarily wanting to have a huge contraption in my freezer. Haha. Anyone else feel my pain? Whelp, no need to worry----I've done my research and tested it out a bit and have found some solutions to help those of us who don't have any fancy system to making clear ice cubes. Here are a few ways:
Tip #1: It's best to use water that is distilled or super filtered to avoid gasses and dissolved oxygen, which are the two things that cause our ice to "fog up" when frozen.
Tip #2: Boil your water and freeze your water hot. Again, much to my previous point, this removes any dissolved oxygen or gasses. Just be sure to carefully pour the hot water into your ice cube tray or mold-----preferably one made from materials that naturally insulates like silicone. Also, ensure that your tray lays FLAT while freezing.
Tip #3: Slow freeze your ice cubes. This should be done for about 24 hours, which allows any impurities to be forced out of the ice---resulting in much clearer ice.
Yes! To make additional mocktails, simply double or triple ingredients, depending on need.
Yup! Kahlúa coffee liqueur is one of the main ingredients in many of the world's favorite cocktails including chocolate based ones. For this recipe, instead of adding the chocolate bar to the brewed coffee, you can use Bailey's (or any other brand) chocolate liqueur (about 1 oz.) and actual Kahlúa (about 1 oz.).
Of course! If you'd like to keep this recipe amazing, but want to spruce things up with alcohol, feel free to add 1 ounce of any of the following:
Whiskey [Irish or Bourbon]
Brandy
Vodka
Gin
Rum
Tequila
Amaretto
Cognac
Yes! To make this mocktail recipe fully vegan or gluten-free, simply substitute the marshmallows, chocolate, Graham crackers, and any other topping that you use are vegan and GF-friendly!
It's ideal to let the freshly brewed espresso or coffee cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before making the Toasted Marshmallow S’Mores Coffee Mocktail. Cooling the espresso/coffee helps to maintain the cool temperature of the mocktail and prevents the chocolate from being hardened when mixed with ice in the shaker. However, if you're short on time, you can chill the espresso/coffee more quickly by placing it in the freezer for about 15 minutes and omitting the chocolate and using chocolate syrup when assembling instead.
While freshly brewed espresso/coffee is preferred for its rich flavor and texture, you can substitute it with a strong brew of instant coffee. However, the taste and texture may vary slightly.
Absolutely! To make this mocktail caffeine-free, simply substitute with decaf coffee. To make this kid-friendly, simply omit the coffee and substitute with decaf black tea or a great healthy alternative like Kiid Coffee.
