It’s rich, comforting, and guaranteed to put you in the Halloween spirit.

45 ml Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur
200 ml hot chocolate
1 tsp activated charcoal (optional, for jet-black colour)
Whipped cream

Add the activated charcoal powder if you want a spooky black finish.
Pour into a heatproof mug.
Top with whipped cream and place a marshmallow on top.

Tips for Making the Perfect Midnight Mocha

Charcoal powder: Only a tiny pinch is needed for colour — too much will alter the flavour.
Ghost marshmallows: Use cookie cutters or food-safe markers to make simple ghost faces.
Serve hot: This drink is best enjoyed fresh, while the cream is still melting.
